HC Deb 10 February 1902 vol 102 cc857-8
* SIR CUTHBERT QUILTER (Suffolk, Sudbury)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether his attention has been called to the recent cases of suspected beer poisoning in the borough of Halifax; whether any investigation by his Department, or by any local authority, has taken place; and, if so, with what result.

MR. WALTER LONG

My attention has been called to the cases referred to in the Question, and I have ascertained that local investigations are now being made by the Assistant Commissioner of the Royal Commission on Arsenical Poisoning as well as by the Medical Officer of Health for the Borough.
