HC Deb 17 May 1895 vol 33 cc1436-7
MR. P. J. POWER (Waterford, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, what decision has been arrived at on a subject now under consideration for a considerable time by the Treasury—namely, the part payment from Imperial funds of the salaries of the inspectors of cowsheds, dairies, and milk shops in Ireland, as the duties of these inspectors are mainly in connection with the administration of the Public Health Acts?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir JOHN HIBBERT,) Oldham

After very careful consideration of this subject the Treasury are not prepared to sanction the payment from Imperial funds of any part of the salaries of these inspectors.
