asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in which Scottish counties there have been fresh outbreaks of myxomatosis; and to what extent the proportion of rabbits recovering from this disease appears to be greater than in previous outbreaks.

Mr. Maclay

Outbreaks of myxomatosis have recently been reported in the counties of Aberdeen, Argyll, Ayr, Banff, Berwick, Bute, Dumfries. East Lothian, Kincardine, Lanark, Midlothian, Orkney, Renfrew, Sutherland and West Lothian. The disease is also reported to be still active in parts of all other counties except Wigtown and Zetland. In many areas the proportion of rabbits recovering from myxomatosis appears to be greater than in previous outbreaks.
