HC Deb 20 June 1958 vol 589 c106W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the fact that individual producers are not permitted to obtain supplies of crystal violet vaccine, what can be obtained that will give an equally satisfactory result.

Mr. John Hare

Crystal violet vaccine produced in my Department's veterinary laboratories is sold only to veterinary surgeons, but I do not control the distribution of any other crystal violet vaccine. Satisfactory results in swine fever vaccination depend not only on the product used, but also on its use in the right way and under the right conditions. Producers wishing to have their herds vaccinated would therefore do well to consult their veterinary advisers.
