HC Deb 24 May 1900 vol 83 cc1107-8
MR. PRICE (Norfolk, E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can further relax the restrictions imposed on the scheduled districts of Norfolk by narrowing the area and allowing, under proper regulations, the fat stock to be removed for slaughter in outside markets.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS, Kent, St. Augustine's) (for Mr. LONG)

The possibility of modifying the restrictions to which the hon. Member refers is con- tinuously kept in view and considered in the light of the reports which I receive daily from my officers on the spot, but at the moment I am unable to announce any further relaxation of our Orders.
