HC Deb 25 March 1912 vol 36 cc170-1W
Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked the Chancellor whether, in view of the im- portance of dealing with bovine tuberculosis, particularly among milch cattle, in the process of combating the spread of human consumption, he will, in order to inspire confidence among stock owners, appoint on the Treasury Departmental Committee on Tuberculosis an additional member possessing some expert knowledge of the disease and also the confidence of the agricultural community?

Mr. MASTERMAN

As I explained in answer to a question on 11th March, the specific matters referred to in the question will be dealt with by obtaining assistance from expert witnesses. The Chairman of the Committee has already taken the requisite steps for this purpose.
