asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will issue a leaflet regarding the goat, as he has done about other animals, so that all concerned may realise that the goat does not get or give tuberculosis; and can he encourage the starting of goat clubs on the lines of pig clubs.

As to the second part of the Question, I am advised that the main limitation to the expansion of goat keeping in this country is the shortage of first-class breeding stock.
