HC Deb 12 November 1906 vol 164 c1065
MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Special Committee on the Butter Trade; and whether, in view of the evidence given as to the increase of adulteration and other malpractices to the detriment of honest producers and loss to the consuming public, the Government will undertake to introduce legislation at a reasonably early period next session.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

It is impossible for me to make any promise in this matter, but I am well aware of the importance of the subject and of the assistance which has been given to us by the work of the Committee.

MR. FLYNN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the hon. Baronet who represents the Department of Agriculture gave me the pledge indicated in the Question?

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I can make no promise for next session.
