§ MR. PARKER (Halifax)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the Report of the Ipswich Board of Guardians Farm Committee, dealing with the question of tuber culosis in the cattle of the workhouse farm; and whether, in view of the fact that after a report from the medical 1363 officer of health and two veterinary surgeons two animals were slaughtered and eight others have since then been condemned as unfit for food, and also all milk from the farm prohibited from being consumed in the workhouse, he will order a similar investigation to be made in the case of all workhouse farms and other farms which will supply milk to the workhouses throughout the country.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSI am in communication with the Ipswich Board of Guardians on the subject of the Report referred to.
