§ MR. ROUND (Essex, N.E., Harwich)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will consider the desirability of giving effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee of the Privy Conncil by introducing such a change of the law as will enable compensation, now made out of local rates in respect of animals compulsorily slaughtered for pleuro-pneumonia, to be henceforth payable out of the Imperial Exchequer?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square), in reply, said, the Government had not yet been able to consider the important recommendations of the Departmental Committee, which would come under review in connection with other recommendations bearing on the same subject.
