HC Deb 23 February 1899 vol 67 cc305-6
MR. WOODS (Essex, Walthamstow)

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. W. H. LONG,) Liverpool, West Derby

The position in the districts still under Muzzling Orders is being constantly watched, and I shall be glad to find myself able to withdraw those orders. But I do not consider that I could safely relax the restrictions at present.
