HC Deb 11 March 1893 vol 9 c1719
MR. YERBURGH (Chester)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the great importance attached by the agricultural interest to the labelling of foreign and colonial meat and of the improbability, in the congested state of Public Business, of the Bills dealing with this question being considered by the House, he will grant a Select Committee to inquire into the subject?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE,) Edinburgh, Midlothian

I think this subject is included within the scope of the Reference to the Committee, which is to deal with agricultural questions, and the Government have, therefore, no intention of holding a separate inquiry.
