§ MR. COBB (Warwick, S.E., Rugby)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture when the promised new Order will be issued with respect to districts infected with the foot-and-mouth disease, to meet, as far as is practicable and safe, the convenience of farmers by permitting beasts to be sent to the Metropolitan Market under proper restrictions?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, SleafordBeasts can be sent now to the Metropolitan Market from every district in England and Wales, except the Counties of Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Cheshire, portions of Essex and Westmoreland, and part of Lancashire—which I have been compelled to close this morning—and from the districts other than those which are scheduled in Scotland. I hope the new Order to which the hon. Member refers will be issued during the course of the present week.
