§ MR. JOYCE (Limerick)To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether his attention has been called to cases of faking hams in Ireland and butter and eggs in England; and, if so, will he say what action, if any, has been taken in the matter.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) No representations have been addressed to the board as to the "faking" of hams or eggs, but if the hon. Member will communicate to me any detailed information which he may possess I shall be happy to cause inquiries to be made. With regard to butter, I would remind the hon. Member that a Select Committee of the House has been appointed to inquire into the whole subject.
