MR. FIELD
(Dublin, St. Patrick)
I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether any, and if so what, test of knowledge of thediseases of animals is required from candidates before being appointed medical officers of health.
MR. WALTER LONG
No test of the kind referred to is required by law.
MR. FIELD
Will you suggest that such a test be required in the future?
MR. WALTER LONG
There is no legal enactment under which it can be required.
MR. FIELD
Is it not possible to amend the law?
[No answer was given.]
