§ MR. VIVIAN (Birkenhead)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can see his way in the proposed legislation for making compulsory the notification of consumption in the case of paupers to extend the proposal of compulsory notification to all cases of consumption.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSI do not contemplate legislation on this subject at the present time. The action I propose to take as regards the notification of consumption in poor law cases will be taken under the existing powers of the Local Government Board, and must, I think, be limited to such cases.
