§ MR. LAURENCE HARDY (Kent, Ashford)I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether, in view of the exposure of the dangers arising from the export of bacon from Denmark which has been cured from diseased moat, the Board of Agriculture intend to take any steps to prevent the importation of Danish bacon until measures have been taken in that country to secure more effective control over the exports.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) BatterseaPerhaps I may reply to this Question. As was stated on Thursday last, in reply to a Question put to me by the hon. Member for the Southern Division of Kerry, I do not think any special action is necessary at the present time as regards the importation of bacon from Denmark, but I have in preparation regulations dealing generally with the measures to be taken for the prevention of danger to health from the importation of foreign meat.
