§ Mr. Grimondasked the Minister of Agriculture how many hares have now been confirmed to have contracted myxomatosis; and what evidence he has that blue hares as well as brown hares are susceptible.
Mr. AmoryIn no case has myxomatosis been confirmed in hares in Great Britain, but I understand that the disease has been confirmed in three brown hares in France. I have no evidence to show whether blue hares are susceptible to the disease.
