§ MR. PRICE (Norfolk, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the importance of immediately doing so, he can allow, under proper regulations, the marshes in the scheduled district to be stocked from outside.
* MR. LONGBy an Order which comes into operation to-day the area of the scheduled district has been reduced and certain facilities have been given for the movement of animals from one part of the district to another under a licence of an inspector of the local authority. This Order will give a certain measure of relief in the direction suggested by the hon. Member, and at the moment I do not consider that it could safely be extended. The position will, however, be constantly kept in view, for I am well aware of, and deeply regret, the inconvenience and loss which our Orders occasion.
