MR, POWER (Waterford, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutentant of Ireland whether he will take steps to give effect to the resolution of the County Waterford Committee of Agriculture and Technical Instruction asking that power should be given to county councils, in conjunction wth the Department of Agriculture in Ireland, to appoint independent analysts to carry out the duties under the Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act instead of compelling the appointment of the analyst already performing the duties under the Food and Drugs Act.
§ MR. WYNDHAMLegislation would be necessary to effect this object, and I cannot give any undertaking in the matter.
