HC Deb 03 March 1887 vol 311 cc1077-8
MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he can give, or suggest, any remedy to Mr. W. Bramley, who, before the issue of the decree prohibiting the exportation of horses from Germany, purchased there and paid £3,000 for horses to be exclusively used in England, and who has been prevented by the Ger- man Government from exporting these horses at a great and continuing loss to himself?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

I regret very much that there is no remedy for the misfortune on account of which Mr. Bramley is suffering. It is incidental to the precautionary measure of prohibiting the export of horses from Germany.
