I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any communication from the railway managers in respect to the promised improvements for the more humane transit of live stock by rail?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Croydon

No, Sir, not yet.

MR. FIELD

asked for information as to the steps that were being taken by the railway companies.

I cannot expect the railway companies to give me information as to every stage of their proceedings.
