§ LIEUTENANT-COLONEL PRYCE-JONES (Montgomery Boroughs)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he will grant a dispensation entitling the goat recently presented to the Volunteer Service Company of the Welsh Regiment in South Africa, and now quarantined on board the "Tagus" at Southampton, to be handed over to the officer commanding, notwithstanding the restrictions laid down in the Foreign Animals Order of 1896.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. HANBURY,) PrestonAn exception can only be made if the War Office recognise the goat as a regimental pet, in the same way as the goats of the Regular battalions.
