§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many dogs were vaccinated or inoculated against rabies in Malaya from 1st January, 1953, up till the date of independence; and what proportion of these dogs developed rabies after the injection took effect.
§ Mr. Maudling:This is a matter for the Government of the Federation of Malaya; but according to published material rabies was virtually eradicated 78W in Malaya by the vaccination of over 200,000 dogs during the years 1953–56. Information for 1957 is not available to me. If my hon. Friend requires this or any further details he will no doubt consult the Malayan Government.
