Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fowl Pest Antidote.

17.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware that an antidote to fowl pest in the form of a serum is in use in Great Britain by the Ministry of Agriculture; and if his Department will make available similar facilities in this country.

The British authorities have decided to initiate a programme of vaccination of poultry in England and Wales, where the disease position has been serious, but not in Scotland so long as the disease is not serious there.

The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
