– in the House of Commons am ar 30 Gorffennaf 1925.
Mr Alexander Livingstone
, Ross and Cromarty
asked the Minister of Health what local authorities in Scotland and England now carry out veterinary inspection of dairy herds?
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:
A few of the sanitary authorities in England and Wales systematically carry out veterinary inspections of dairy herds, and I believe that most sanitary authorities have made arrangements for obtaining the services of a veterinary surgeon for the inspection of cattle when occasion demands. So far as Scotland is concerned, the question should be addressed to my right hon. friend the Secretary for Scotland.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
