FOOT & MOUTH DISEASE
RESTRICTIONS ItEAfOVED.
WELLINGTON, April 28. Some months ago, owing to the prevalence of foot and mouth disease in the ( nited Kingdom, it became necessary to prohibit tiie importation into New Zealand of animals from Great Britain. The Department of Agriculture has been keeping in close touch with the position, and as recent advice- disclose that the disease is apparently not of an epidemic nature, the Government has now decided to again permit importations subject- to certain conditions which are similar to those in operation prior to the last series of outbreaks. Briefly, these conditions are as follows: No shipment allowed from any part if the country for one month from trie •i’e of an outbreak. For the succeeding two monthshipments only allowed from outside a radius of fifteen miles. Provided that if animals are taken from an area free from disease and quarantined in approved premises under veterinary supervision for fourteen days prior to shipment, then such shipment would be allowed.
