§ MR. J. M. WHITE (Forfar)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether, as the Departmental Committee on Swine Fever report that they gather that they are not expected to make any suggestions with regard to administrative procedure, he will invite them to make any such suggestions as they deem desirable?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Liverpool, West DerbyI have personally given much attention to the administrative procedure connected with swine fever, and have recently made certain changes with a view, if possible, to its improvement. If the matter were to be referred to a Committee, it would be desirable that it should be constituted on a broader basis than the purely 1252 scientific Committee to which the hon. Member refers; but, in the first instance, it will be desirable to await the results of the altered procedure now in operation.
