HC Deb 04 March 1869 vol 194 c630
SIR ROBERT ANSTRUTHER

said, he would beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether his attention has been called to the amount of injury inflicted upon live stock from the want of any means of supplying them with food or water when in transit by rail, and to the consequent deterioration of the quality of meat supplied to the public; and, whether he will be prepared to make any regulations upon this subject in the Bill which he is about to introduce for the regulation of the Traffic in Cattle?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, that the subject was under the consideration of his noble Friend Lord De Grey and himself; the second part of the Question could be best answered later in the evening, when introducing the Bill having reference to cattle disease regulations.
