§ MR. ROCHE (Kerry, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether for the last six years there has been a single case of infectious or contagious cattle disease in the Dominion of Canada; and, if not, whether he will now consent to remove the restriction upon the importation of store cattle from that country into Great Britain and Ireland?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. W. H. LONG,) Liverpool, West DerbyI cannot take upon myself the responsibility of saying whether the facts are as stated in the first part of the Question. With regard to the second, the law leaves me no option but to secure that all animals brought to this country from abroad are slaughtered at a foreign animals wharf at the port of landing.
