§ MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General whether, as a Departmental Committee is now scientifically investigating the question of adding preservatives to food, and will report by the end of the year, he will send an intimation to all judicial authorities before whom any cases of adding preservatives to Devon- 1518 shire cream may be brought, that it would be expedient to adjourn the proceedings until after the Departmental Committee has given its decision.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY, Inverness Burghs)I have no authority to interfere with the discretion of judicial authorities in the way suggested in the question, and it would be most improper for me to attempt to do so.
