§ MR. STEVENSON () Suffolk, EyeI beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the modified order to be issued on Saturday will meet the case of small farmers and others who may require, as a matter of urgency, to send a cow to a neighbouring farm and back for stock purposes.
MR. LONGThe new order permits movement within the outlying portion of the scheduled district for the purposes of feeding, isolation, or lambing, subject to certain prescribed conditions, but these conditions could not very well be complied with where movement for stock purposes takes place, and I cannot there tore as yet afford relief in this direction 934 without danger of the spread of the disease. But I recognise the importance of the matter in many cases, and I hope to be able before very long to make provisions respecting it.
