HC Deb 12 July 1949 vol 467 c16W
72. Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the estimated cost annually arising out of tuberculosis in cattle in Scotland.

Mr. G. Brown

A sum of £609,300 has been provided in the Estimates of the Department for the current financial year in respect of tuberculosis in cattle in Great Britain as a whole. I regret that separate figures for Scotland are not available. This does not include an apportionment of the salaries and expenses of whole-time staff which, I am afraid, it would be impracticable to make.
