§ Mr. COWANasked whether the Board of Agriculture has considered the question of compensation to the vendors of carcases seized in the public interest, in view of the fact that large quantities of meat are condemned for tuberculosis which cannot be detected before slaughtering; and, if so, what action, if any, he proposes to take?
§ Mr. BURNSI have considered this question, but I am not in a position to propose legislation on the subject.
