§ MR. CHARLEYasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether it is his intention to take any steps to carry out the views expressed in the Report of Mr. Power, the Commissioner appointed by the Board to inquire into the origin of the Eagley Milk Epidemic, that—
The case points to the urgent necessity for regulation and adequate supervision over the sanitary circumstances of dairy farms.
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTH,in reply, said, no steps could be taken to carry out the views quoted by the hon. Member without fresh legislation, and when the Public Health Act was under consideration last year, he gave some attention to the subject, but was satisfied on inquiry that it was too difficult a matter to be properly attended to in that Act. It was one, however, of serious importance, and should have his attention during the Recess.
