HC Deb 06 March 1911 vol 22 cc825-6
Mr. STANIER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture, whether the assistant inspector under the Animal Department of the Board, Mr. J. R. Roberts', Reports for the six months ending 1st January, 1911, are available for Members' of the House of Commons to read; and whether this gentleman is now in charge of any district, and, if so, where?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The reports of the Board's Inspectors are made for the information of the Board and it would not be in the public interest that they should be made available in the manner suggested. Mr. I. M. Roberts, who is the only assistant inspector of that name in the Animals Division and to whom I think the hon. Member must refer, is not and never has been in charge of a district.
