§ Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the fact that owners of farm buildings now used, but not originally intended, for the accommodation of milch cattle are, in consequence of the provisions of Clause 16 of the Milk and Dairies Bill, in doubt whether they should take steps, by notice to quit or otherwise, to prevent their tenants from continuing their present user of such premises, he will state whether it is intended by Departmental Order to increase the minimum cubic air space for cows beyond the 500 cubic feet commonly accepted as sufficient, or to vary the cubic requirements according to the sufficiency or deficiency of effective ventilation of the cow-house?
§ Mr. BURNSNo decision has been arrived at in regard to the particular point mentioned, but I may say generally that in framing the Regulations care will be taken to see that any requirements which are prescribed are reasonable and practicable.
