asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will reintroduce the Compulsory Warble Dressing Order; and take steps to see that the Order is vigorously applied.

No, Sir. I have issued a notice advising owners, where practicable, to use a suitable dressing on cattle visibly infected with warbles, but I do not propose to reintroduce the compulsory Order this year. In any case, the season during which treatment can usefully be given ends in a few weeks.
