§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate, having regard to the fact that Dr. Chalmers, the Medical Officer of Health for Glasgow, states that the epidemic of sore throat at the Belvedere Hospital in that city last summer was due to teat eruption in the stock at the farm from which the milk supply was obtained, will he consider the expediency of introducing legislation such as will secure the periodical inspection of stock kept for the supply of milk to public dairies.
*MR. SCOTT DICKSONUnder No. 14 of the Local Government Board Draft Regulations for regulating the duties of sanitary inspectors, which are in force over almost all Scotland, those officers are bound to visit dairies, cowsheds, and milkshops at least once in every three months. Legislation on this subject, therefore, appears to be unnecessary.
