Foot and Mouth Disease (Controlled Areas Restrictions) General Order, 1938.
The Foot and Mouth outbreak which began in November, 1967 and ended in
March, 1968 passed without incident in the London Borough of Richmond. A careful
watch was maintained at Bushy Park and Richmond Park where disinfectant pads were
installed as a precaution.
Psittacosis.
A letter was addressed to the Town Clerk of your Authority in October informing
him that the Corporation had written to the Ministries of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food and Health expressing the view that some form of control should be re-introduced
on the import of psittaciforms into this country so as to minimise the risk of the disease
to human beings. This was supported by your Council.
The reply from the Ministries was not very satisfactory and, at present, consultations
are in progress.
