§ 66. Mr. BLINDELLasked the Minister of Health whether he will issue regulations requiring that all animals "tuberculin-tested for the purpose of the Milk (Special Designation) Order of 1923, and which react to that test, should be branded before sale in order that persons who may subsequently purchase the animals may become aware of this fact?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe adoption of this suggestion has been considered on previous occasions and has been held to be undesirable. In any case, I do not consider that it would be expedient to make any such requirement in regard to the limited number of animals comprised in herds to which the Special Designations Order applies.
§ Mr. SANDHAMIf it is to be a question of destroying these cattle, will it not affect at least 40 per cent. of the beasts producing milk in this country?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI think, if you applied this test to all cattle, there would be enormous slaughter.
