HC Deb 21 July 1955 vol 544 c66W
67. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent myxomatosis has spread this summer; and what futher indications have been observed of wild rabbits developing immunity in districts where all the rabbits were cleared last year.

Mr. Nugent

During the summer, myxomatosis has spread to many previously unaffected districts in the Midlands, the North of England and Scotland. There appears to be no significant change in the development of immunity by wild rabbits since the reply given to my hon. Friend on 16th June.
