§ MR. HOZIER (Lanarkshire, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether there is any prospect of a measure being introduced to provide compensation for loss due to tuberculosis in cattle?
§ MR. GARDNERI should he glad to take any steps which might be practicable to minimise the extent to which tuberculosis prevails amongst cattle, and the subject is engaging my attention at the present time. But it would not be possible for me to propose legislation of the general and costly character suggested in the question.
