§ Viscount Lambtonasked the Minister of Health whether he is now satisfied that Mr. Brewis, who suffered from foot-and-mouth disease last summer, is now totally uninfectious, and is able, without any danger whatsoever, to have contact with farm animals; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI accept the report by Dr. Howie and Sir William Weipers giving their conclusions, based on the series of tests on specimens taken from Mr. Brewis, that on and after 8th August he was not infective. Even before that date the precautions taken were such that he was in no danger of infecting farm animals.
