120. Mr. Maitlandasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to a shortage in the supply 22W of hypodermic needles for injecting lambs with lamb-dysentery serum and ewes with lamb-dysentery vaccine, as a result of shortage of materials; and whether, since this shortage may affect the success of the lambing season, he will take steps to ease the supply of the materials in question.
§ Mr. NugentI am not aware of any shortage either of suitable needles or of materials for their manufacture. If my hon. Friend will let me have particulars of any cases of difficulty that have come to his notice I will be glad to have inquiries made.
