§ MR. J. W. BARCLAY (Forfarshire)asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether he can inform the House what stops the Irish Executive propose taking to prevent the shipment from Dublin of cattle affected with pleuro-pneumonia; whether the Veterinary Department consider the proposed new arrangements satisfactory; and, if not, whether he can state what course the Department proposes to adopt; and, if he will lay the Correspondence relating to the subject upon the Table of the House?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)(who replied) said: The Irish Government have passed Orders prohibiting the movement of cattle out of the infected districts in Dublin and the neighbourhood without the special sanction of the Lord Lieutenant; and further measures suggested by the Privy Council in this country are under the consideration of the Irish Government. The Correspondence is not complete, and cannot, therefore, be laid on the Table at present.
