HC Deb 10 December 1953 vol 521 c278W
119. Lieut. - Colonel Bromley - Davenport

asked the Minister of Agriculture how long it is intended to continue the present policy of slaughter in the case of outbreaks of fowl pest; and whether he will consider changing that policy to one of vaccination.

Sir T. Dugdale

I am satisfied that in present circumstances it would not be in the public interest for me to discontinue the slaughter policy in favour of vaccination.
