HC Deb 23 March 1900 vol 81 c179
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromartie)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he has yet been able to arrange for the official returns of prices received under The Markets and Fairs (Weighing of Cattle) Act, 1891, to be published weekly instead of quarterly.

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

The suggestion of the hon. Member will be kept in view, but for the reasons already explained I fear that its adoption would not be feasible under existing conditions.
