§ MR. JASPER MORE (Shropshire, Ludlow)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether it would be possible for the promised Royal Commission on tuberculosis to inquire whether cancer is communicable from animals to man.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)As I stated yesterday, the appointment of a Royal Commission with regard to tuberculosis is still under the consideration of the Government. Assuming, however, that such a Commission is appointed, I do not think it would be practicable that the matters referred to it should include an investigation of the subject mentioned by my hon. friend.
