§ MR. RANKIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the propriety of allowing the Herefordshire County Council to carry out their resolution of 9th July, 1892, and dismiss their public analysts, and appoint a new one, so that "The Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1875," may be efficiently carried out?
SIR W. FOSTERThe Local Government Board are in communication with the public analysts, whose services the County Council have determined to dispense with, and the Board's decision will be given very shortly.
