Mr. CHANCELLORasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if the elected members of the Council of Government in Malta who have declined to concur in the appointment of a committee to consider further the origin of Malta fever, unless the inquiry is limited to the manner in which goats are infected, are paid officials who are largely responsible for the goat's milk theory; and whether he is aware that those members who are popularly elected are almost, if not quite, unanimous in their opposition to that theory?
§ Colonel SEELYThe elected members, with the exception of two who receive remuneration as members of the Executive Council, are not paid by the Government; and their attitude on the question is as stated in the answer which I returned to my hon. Friend's question of 21st July.
