HC Deb 01 November 1944 vol 404 cc807-8W
Captain Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many outbreaks of rinderpest have occurred in Kenya during the last 12 months; and what steps are being taken by the Kenya Government to control the disease and prevent its spread to Tanganyika and the Rhodesias.

Mr. Willink

The practice of including, in the Registrar-General's Weekly Return, corrections to notifications recorded in preceding issues of the Return, was discontinued at the beginning of the present year simultaneously with the introduction of the new quarterly procedure described in the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford Central (Mr. Leach) on 1st March last, a copy of which I am sending my hon. Friend.
