§ Mr. MOUNTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he was aware that samples of milk for the purpose of testing for tuberculosis had been of late taken from churns arriving in London without first mixing the milk; and whether, in 1526 view of the fact that this abstraction of the cream would prejudicially affect the milk if it were afterwards tested for fat, he would give instructions that no samples should be taken in future unless the milk was properly mixed?
§ Mr. BURNSI am advised that the method of taking the samples is such that the percentage of fat in the milk is not likely to be altered to any material extent.
