§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to the fact that despite the recommendations of the recent Belfast Health Commission, buttermilk is still brought into Belfast in manure carts; and whether he will take immediate steps to prevent this danger to the public health?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Local Government Board understand that it has never been the practice to bring buttermilk into Belfast in manure carts. The empty vessels, however, have been taken into the country in these carts, and the local authority are endeavouring to put a stop to this most objectionable custom.
