HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 cc199-200W
54. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether in view of the fact that the veterinary profession is satisfied that adequate scientific knowledge now exists to eradicate tuberculosis and other diseases which handicap economic milk production and lower the purity of the milk supply in this country, he has any plans for initiating in 1947 a large-scale national campaign to eradicate tuberculosis and other diseases from British dairy herds once and for all.

Mr. T. Williams

Discussions will shortly be opened with farming and other interests on plans for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis and the control of other diseases. Meanwhile, good progress is being made under the voluntary Tuberculosis (Attested Herds) Scheme and the Calfhood Vaccination Scheme against contagious abortion.
