HC Deb 15 March 1906 vol 153 c1393
MR. FIELD

To ask the President of the Local Government Board if he has any official information showing that the Farm Committee of the Central London School District Managers sold a cow, admittedly affected with tuberculosis, for 50s.; and, if so, can he say whether the Committee took any steps to prevent the carcass of this cow from being disposed of as human food.

(Answered by Mr. John Burns.)> I have made inquiry on this subject, and am informed that the facts are as stated in the Question, but that the cow was sold on the understanding that the carcass would not be disposed of for human consumption.
