§ MR. LEIF JONESI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can see his way to modify the model bye-laws of the Local Government Board for the inspection of dairies and cowsheds, so as to provide that when the medical officer of health or inspector of nuisances is inspecting cattle he shall De accompanied by a properly qualified veterinary surgeon, whose duty it shall be to examine the animals and report thereon.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSThere is nothing in the Model Regulations to prevent a Local Authority from employing a veterinary surgeon as an officer to inspect cattle in dairies if they wish to do so. But it does not seem to me to be either necessary or desirable to require the medical officer of health or inspector of nuisances when visiting a dairy to be always accompanied by a veterinary surgeon.
