§ MR. A. F. JEFFREYS (Hants, Basingstoke)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether he is aware that milk from cows fed and kept on the sewage farm at Aldershot is being distributed in the Camp, and sold to civilians in the town below the usual price; whether he will stop this unequal competition with local dairymen; whether the sewage farm is maintained and stocked by public money; whether it has the usual licence for selling milk in the Camp; and, whether the sanitary conditions of the farm have been approved by the medical authorities?
§ *MR. BRODRICKIn order to treat the sewage of Aldershot Camp a sewage farm is maintained at Government charge, of which a dairy forms a part. The Secretary of State will not allow milk to be sold until he has satisfied himself of its purity by analysis, and no further sales will be made outside the camp precincts until the dairy is duly licensed by the local authorities.
