§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether any progress is being made with respect to the publication of the Bovine Tuberculosis Report, and when its issue may be expected; and whether the Government are considering the adoption of means to compensate owners whose property is confiscated in the interests of the public?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. H. H. FOWLER, Wolverhampton, E.)I am informed by the Royal Commission on Tuberculosis that two of the special inquiries which they have been undertaking are completed, and that the third will be finished by the end of next month. Immediately after that the Commission will meet to draft the final Report. As to the second point, I can only state that the consideration of the question as to the adoption of means of granting compensation must be deferred until the Commission have made their Report.
