HC Deb 02 February 1948 vol 446 c220W
70. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that veterinary surgeons experience six weeks delay in obtaining delivery of supplies of anti-abortion vaccine from the Veterinary Laboratory at Weybridge; and what steps are being taken to improve the position.

Mr. T. Williams

Normally there is no delay in the despatch of anti-abortion vaccine from the Veterinary Laboratory, Weybridge. Owing to unavoidable mishaps in the preparation of this very delicate substance, however, supplies have, for a time, been short of requirements. The position has now improved, and arrears are being rapidly overtaken.
