§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Government will introduce legislation this session making the notification of pulmonary tuberculosis compulsory, enacting more stringent and uniform measures for the regulation of milk and food supplies, establishing a system of medical inspection of schools and school children, and enabling county councils to erect and maintain sanatoria and dispensaries for the treatment of consumption.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I have already announced the intention of the Government to introduce the Tuberculosis 323 Prevention (Ireland) Bill, which will deal with some of the matters referred to in the Question. For details of the measure I must ask the hon. Baronet to await the appearance of the Bill.
