MR. FIELDI beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether any steps have been adopted to bring into practical effect the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Cross Channel Transit of Live Stock?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. GARDNER, Essex, Saffron Walden)A new Order has been prepared for the better regulation of the Transit of Animals carried Coastwise. One or two points still remain to be settled between the Irish Authorities and the Board of Agriculture, but I do not think any serious difficulty will arise, and I expect to be able to issue the Order very shortly.
