Oral Answers to Questions — Public Health – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 28 September 1944.
asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the annual loss from damage to hides by warble fly attack amounts to nearly £1,000,000; and whether he can now make arrangements for the compulsory dressing of cattle with suitable antidotes.
I am aware of the damage caused to hides by warble fly, but in view of the practical difficulties I am not at present proposing to re-impose a requirement of compulsory dressing.
