HC Deb 31 May 1894 vol 25 c13
MR. DANE

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture what has been the result of his inquiry as regards the accommodation for weighing live cattle at Falkirk tryst or market, in Stirlingshire?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. H. GARDNER,) Essex, Saffron Walden

From the Report made to me by the Inspector whom I instructed to visit Falkirk in pursuance of my promise to the hon. Member, it would appear that a weighing machine is available for use at Falkirk tryst; but the information at present before me is insufficient to enable me to determine whether there is a sufficient compliance with the requirements of the Act, or whether the application for exemption from those requirements which has now been made to me ought to be granted. The matter is still, therefore, under investigation, but I hope it will not be long before I am in a position to acquaint the hon. Member with my decision.
