HC Deb 01 April 1913 vol 51 c212
74. Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the opinion generally expressed both by agriculturists and medical officers of local authorities in favour of the inspection of cattle being conducted by qualified veterinary surgeons rather than by medical officers, he will consider the desirability of amending the provisions of the Milk and Dairies Bill accordingly prior to its reintroduction?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

The hon. Member has, no doubt, seen the Bill which I have introduced. I have in it given to veterinary experts a definite position when cattle in dairies have to be inspected.
