§ Mr. ORDE-POWLETTasked the President whether, seeing that the medical officer of the Local Government Board, in his Annual Report for 1909–10, states that in Middlesbrough and the towns of the North-East of England no effective pressure is put upon the producer of milk of abnormally poor quality to improve the quality of his product (page 211 of extract from Annual Report), he will undertake to communicate at an early date to the secretary of the Darlington Farmers' Protection Association, which is the organisation of the dairy farmers throughout the area from which the milk supply of these towns is drawn, a detailed statement of the methods which Dr. Buchanan and the inspection staff of the Medical Department 2586W of the Local Government Board favour as likely to prove effectual in preventing a well managed herd of dairy cows from giving at any time milk below the standard set up by the Sale of Milk Regulations, 1901?
§ Mr. BURNSI will confer with the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries as to the suggestion which the hon. Member makes.
