§ MR. STEPHENS (Middlesex, Hornsey)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, as far as Middlesex is concerned, the muzzling 61 order will be revoked within the next three weeks?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURENo decision has as yet been arrived at with regard to the revocation of the muzzling order now in force in Middlesex, and so far as I am concerned there is no foundation for the statements on the subject which were published in the newspapers yesterday. They were based, as I am informed, on an inaccurate report of some observations made from the bench at the Brentwood Petty Sessions.
