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.
