§ 84. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture what arrangements have been made for treating cattle found to be infested with warbles at the ports and markets; and if he will give an assurance that investigations into the possibility of immunising cattle are being pressed ahead.
§ Mr. NugentNo arrangements are made to treat cattle at ports or markets in this country. So far as Irish cattle are concerned, an order in Northern Ireland requires visibly infested cattle to be dressed, while cattle from the Irish Republic are dressed at the ports of 179W embarkation. My right hon. Friend is considering whether any improvement on these arrangements is possible. As to the second part of the Question, I can give my hon. Friend the assurance he seeks.
