HC Deb 24 November 1893 vol 18 cc1694-5
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's)

I beg to ask the President, of the Local Government Board when the Report of the Bovine Tuberculosis Commissioners may he expected, or can a date be fixed for its publication?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

I have made inquiry, and am informed by the Commissioners that the whole of the experi- mental investigations are concluded; that the Reports of two of the Sub-Commissioners are printed, and that the Report of the third Sub-Commissioner will probably be finished in a few days. Immediately on its completion the Commission will meet to draft the final Report, which it is confidently expected will be issued next month.

MR. FIELD

Is this a definite promise on the part of the right hon. Gentleman that the Report will be issued next month?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

I have no power to make such a promise. I can only tell the House what the Commissioners say.
