§ SIR JOHN SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Agriculture, What steps Her Majesty's Government have taken to prevent the possibility of cattle which have been in contact with cattle suffering from pleuro-pneumonia in or near the City of Dublin from being landed in Great Britain?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire,1122 E.) Her Majesty's Government have not taken any steps to prevent the lauding in Great Britain of cattle from any part of Ireland; but as a result of correspondence on the subject, the Irish Government have passed an Order, with the object of preventing the exportation of animals from certain districts in or near Dublin in which pleuro-pneumonia is known to exist. The correspondence is now complete, and will be laid before Parliament.
