HC Deb 02 June 1899 vol 72 c177
MR. J. G. TALBOT (Oxford University)

On behalf of the hon. Member for North Hants I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he has received the report of the medical officer appointed by the War Office to inspect the Camp Sewage Farm at Aldershot. And, whether it is still proposed to supply the troops with milk from this farm.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (MR. G. WYNDHAM, Dover)

The report has been received, and will be laid on the table of the House to-day. There has been no question of supplying the troops with this milk as part of their rations. The question has been whether they should be prohibited from purchasing it. Dr. Andrewes' report contains nothing which would warrant such a prohibition. It does, however, suggest one improvement in the arrangement of the farm, the cost of which is now being investigated.
