HC Deb 23 May 1898 vol 58 c357
MR. RICKETT (Scarborough)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he anticipates the introduction during this Session of a Bill dealing with the adulteration of food and drugs, as mentioned in the concluding paragraph of the Queen's Speech?

MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)

I beg at the same time to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can now state when the Bill dealing with the adulteration of food products will be introduced?

MR. JEFFREYS (Hants,) Basingstoke

I beg also to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can now state when the Bill dealing with the adulteration of food products, which was mentioned in the Queen's Speech, will be introduced?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

I can answer all the Questions at once by saying that I hope to introduce a Bill on this subject shortly.
