§ MR. W. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he can give the names of the Commissioners and state the terms of reference of the Royal Commission on Tuberculosis, recommending the appointment of experts; whether the question of compensation has been considered; and whether it will be included in the Government Measure?
§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will also answer a question of mine couched in identical terms to this which has twice appeared on the Paper, and which had been postponed until after Whitsuntide.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL, Tyrone, S)I cannot hold out any expectation that the Measure will be brought in this year with regard to tuberculosis. But my right hon. Friend the President of the Local Government Board hopes to be able to give the names of the Commissioners and the order of reference shortly after Whitsuntide.
