Sir H. YOUNG:

My attention has been called to reports of the statements in question. I am not aware of any outbreak of illness at Yeovil attributed to the consumption of butter. I have reseived information of several cases of illness in a neighbouring district, in connection with which a number of samples of butter were examined, but these were all found to be free from microbic contamination. Russian butter, with other foods, is subject to examination at the ports, and there is no evidence at present before me on which I should be justified in taking any steps to prohibit its importation.
