§ * THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. LONG,) Liverpool, West DerbyIt would be premature for me to make any announcement on this subject, inasmuch as the conditions which I have to take into consideration vary from time to time. But I am in communication with the local authority respecting it, and my hon. and gallant 236 friend may be sure that their representations will receive my careful attention.
