MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has had any communication with the Smithfield Club, the Highland Society, the Chambers of Agriculture, or other associations, which passed resolutions in favour of compensation for tuberculosis confiscations; whether the Government have considered the subject; and whether it is intended to introduce legislation this session.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (MR. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

The reply to the first two paragraphs of the question is in the affirmative. It is not proposed to introduce legislation on the subject this session.
