§ MR. CHARLES WILSON (Hull, W.)I beg to ask the President of the Board 1146 of Trade whether the Government is-intending to make any and what regulations or restrictions as to the carriage of live cattle across the Atlantic?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. CHAPLIN, Lincolnshire, Sleaford)Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will allow me to answer the question. The hon, Member is probably aware that a Joint Departmental Committee of the Board of Agriculture and the Board of Trade is at this moment examining into the question of the transit of cattle across the Atlantic, and I think it would be desirable to wait for the Report of that Committee before deciding what alterations, if any, may be necessary in the regulations existing at present.
