HC Deb 30 October 1911 vol 30 c509
Mr. BARNSTON

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman is now in a position to state the result of the inquiries which the Board have been making as to the manner in which the existing provisions of the law relating to the sale of milk are at present administered by local authorities?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The inquiry is not yet completed.

Mr. BARNSTON

As these inquiries have been going on for some time, can the right hon. Gentleman indicate any time when he will be able to make a general statement on the subject?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am afraid I cannot state any time. The work is being carried out by inspectors who have other duties to discharge as well. I understand that they are proceeding with all possible speed. I will, however, look into the matter.
