§ MR. W. FIELDI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Government to provide compensation to the owners for the seizures make to tuberculised animals destroyed in the supposed interest of public health?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI have heard a good many questions about tuberculosis. I have not studied the subject myself, and I have had no proposal made to me at present as to compensation in that matter. When the proposal comes from the Treasury I shall have to consider it.
§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE (Wilts, Devizes)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether voters, in the areas transferred from one county to another under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1894, will be transferred as to their Parliamentary votes to the new county, or whether they will be retained in the original county?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRENo areas are transferred from one county to another by the Local Government Act, 1894, and I presume my hon. Friend alludes to cases where such transfers are made by orders of the Local Government Board issued under the Local Government Act, 1888. If so, I may refer him to Section 92 of that Act, which provides that nothing done in pursuance of the Act shall alter the limits of any Parliamentary county, or the right of any person to be registered as a voter at any Parliamentary election.
