§ CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if any Returns are available showing the number of cattle exported from Ireland to Great Britain during each of the past five years; and, if so, can he state the figures.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BRYCE,) Aberdeen, S.Perhaps I may be allowed to answer this Question. The Report of Proceedings under the Diseases of Animals Acts—which forms the subject of Parliamentary Paper No. 2609 of last year—contains the figures in question from 1878 to 1904, inclusive. The total number of cattle exported to Great Britain last year was 749,131.
