§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, what is the value of Irish butter imported into England in the year 1905; and what is the value of Danish butter imported in the same year.

§ MR. J. A. PEASEI understand there are no returns collected as to Irish butter.
§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLWill the hon. Gentleman inquire of the Department of Agriculture if the information can be obtained?
§ MR. J. A. PEASEI will see if it can be done.
