HC Deb 12 August 1919 vol 119 cc1120-1W
Mr. FINNEY

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to a resolution by the Midland Counties Veterinary Medical Association. at a meeting held in Birmingham, to the effect that it is essential in the public interests that provision be made for the oppointment of at least one member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons on every consultative council to be set up under Clause 4 of the Ministry of Health Act, which may have to deal with matters relating to the hygiene and health of animals; and whether he will take the matter into favorable consideration, with a view to making appointments as suggested in the resolution?

Major ASTOR

My right hon. Friend has received a number of resolutions on this subject, and I would refer the hon. Member to the terms of the reply given to a similar question by the hon. Member for Wellingborough on the 10th July, of which I am sending him a copy.
