§ MR. A. CROSS (Glasgow, Camlachie)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, under "The Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act, 1893," every buyer of any parcel of fertilisers or feeding stuffs is entitled to have the parcel sampled and analysed under the provisions of that Act, and that quite irrespective of whether he be a farmer, a dealer, or a manufacturer, and at the rate of fees fixed under the Act by the public Local Authority?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. H. GARDNER,) Essex, Saffron WaldenI have no authority to decide any questions which may arise as to the interpretation of the Act in question; but I have no objection to say that I am advised that every bona fide buyer of a fertiliser or feeding stuff within the meaning of the Act is entitled, on payment of the fee sanctioned by the Local Authority, to have an analysis of the article under Section 5 of the Act, irrespective of any question of whether he be a farmer, manufacturer, or dealer.
