HC Deb 02 March 1899 vol 67 c1055
MR. CHANNING

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the repeated expressions of opinion by the Central and Associated Chambers of Agriculture, British Dairy Farmers' Association, and many other representative bodies, to the effect that the questions relating to tuberculosis should be dealt with by the State in legislation for the whole country, Her Majesty's Government will introduce a Bill or Bills to meet this desire, and secure uniform administration throughout the United Kingdom?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

The Government are not at present prepared to propose legislation on this subject.
