§ MR. LAMBERT () Devonshire, South MoltonI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state the number of cattle at present in the Government stock farms in South Africa, and the number and locality of such stock farms.
§ MR. BRODRICKNo information on this subject has been forwarded from South Africa.
§ MR. LAMBERTCan the right hon. Gentleman send for the information? We were told a month ago that the stock farms had been established.
§ MR. BRODRICKI am perfectly willing to get information as to the number of farms established, but in view of the enormous labour involved in getting details, such as the number of cattle on them, I do not think I ought to trouble the military authorities.
§ MR. LAMBERTCan we have the number of farms and localities? It is very important.
§ MR. BRODRICKI am quite willing to get certain information, as I have said, but I cannot get the number of cattle.
