HC Deb 24 February 1904 vol 130 c849
* MR. CHAPMAN (Cheshire, Hyde)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, pending the. Report of the Royal Commission on Tuberculosis, he will take steps to prevent the insertion in Private Bills, promoted by local authorities, of clauses affecting the sale of milk applicable only to particular districts.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.

The clauses referred to have been included in a number of Local Acts since the Royal Commission was appointed. Whether they be inserted in any particular Bill is a matter for the consideration of the Committee on that Bill, but I could not undertake to interfere in the manner desired by my hon. friend.
