§ 9. Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Home Secretary whether the attention of the police has been called to the use of the so-called battery system of poultry-keeping; and, if so, whether a test case is contemplated to sift allegations of inherent cruelty?
§ Sir J. GILMOURMy attention had not been previously called to the matter, but such information as I have been able to obtain does not suggest that action by the police is called for.
