HC Deb 17 March 1896 vol 38 cc1165-6
DR. FARQUHARSON

On behalf of Mr. WHITE, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he will postpone the proposal to permanently exclude Canadian live cattle from this country until a full Report has been received of the remonstrances made in the Dominion Parliament against what is regarded as a most injurious blow to Canadian interests?

* MR. WALTER LONG

The views of the Canadian Government with respect to the slaughter of cattle at the port at which they are landed are well-known, and are set out in great detail in the Papers of which the House is already in possession. This being the case, I regret that I do not see my way to the adoption of the suggestion of the hon. Member.
