HC Deb 19 February 1901 vol 89 cc480-1
MR. JOHN CAMPBELL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been drawn to certain cases of cruelty to animals practised in angling for song-birds in Cornwall and for albatross on ocean-going steamers; and what steps he purposes taking in the matter.

* ME. GERALD BALFOUR

No, Sir. The subject is not one which comes within the purview of the Board of Trade, nor have I any powers in the matter.
