§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that at the last quarterly meeting of the Granard Urban Council a resolution was passed strongly protesting against the present restrictions upon the importation of Irish store pigs into Great Britain; and whether he can announce when it is proposed to modify or withdraw these restrictions.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe regulations to which the Question refers were issued by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries. I am not aware of any present intention on the part of that Board to modify the regulations, but upon that point the hon. Member should address my hon. friend the Member for South Somerset.
