§ 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-BANNERMANIt 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. FLYNNIs 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-BANNERMANI can make no promise for next session.
