§ MR. BRIGGTo ask the President of the Board of Agriculture what foreign nations have inspectors in this country to detect adulteration of their butter; and how many inspectors are there belonging to each nation.
(Answered by Mr. Ailwyn Fellowes.) So far as I am aware, no foreign nations have inspectors in this country to detect adulteration of their butter. Several countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Germany, and the United States have appointed agricultural, representatives here, but their duty is rather to find fresh markets for their country's produce, and to supply information as to the state of trade, than to detect adulteration.
