HC Deb 22 July 1913 vol 55 c1844
31. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he will say why a professor of pathology holding no veterinary qualification has been appointed veterinary inspector under the Local Government Board for the purpose of meat inspection; whether there was no veterinary surgeon in Scotland qualified for the post and whether, in point of fact, applications for the post were sent in by highly-skilled veterinary surgeons; and if he will say also what technical qualifications the above-mentioned gentleman has got to qualify him for the post?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

As regards Dr. Leighton's technical qualifications I would refer the Noble Lord to replies given to the hon. Member for the Wilton Division on 24th June, where these are fully detailed.
