SIR JOHN SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What steps Her Majesty's Government have taken with a view of stamping oat pleuro-pneumonia and other diseases in cattle in the City of Dublin and the surrounding parishes?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

All cattle in the Dublin District are specially branded for purposes of identification. They may not be exposed in the Dublin market except for slaughter, nor exported to Great Britain, nor to the surrounding districts.
