§ Mr. Swainasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress 208W has been made towards eradication of swine vesicular disease; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StrangWe have made considerable progress in eradicating this disease; no outbreak has occurred in the last three months. I must, nevertheless, ask all concerned not to relax their efforts. The regulations must continue to be observed strictly, particularly the Movement and Sale of Pigs Order and the Waste Food Order. It is essential that all pig keepers continue to keep their stock under close observation and to report immediately any suspicion of disease.
