§ BARON DIMSDALE(for Mr. CHAPLIN) (Lincolnshire, Slea-1477 ford) asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether the Government will undertake to give effect to the recommendation contained in the Report of the Royal Commission on Horse Breeding:—
That, for the future, in the statistics of the export of horses, the number of stallions, mares, and geldings, shall be distinguished and classified.
§ MR. BURDETT-COUTTS (Westminster)asked, whether it would be possible to give a record of the breeds to which the exported stallions and mares belonged?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire, E.)I have been in communication with the Board of Trade and the Board of Customs on the subject of this Question, and am able to say that the statistics of the export of horses will in future be given in the form suggested by the Royal Commission on Horse Breeding. With regard to the other Question which has been put to me, I will have inquiry made as to whether it is possible to adopt the suggestion of the hon. Member.
