§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the statement made by the President of the Board last December that he hoped to be able to revise the regulations with reference to swine fever and to remove some of the hardships incidental thereto, he will, in devising fresh regulations, bear in mind the representations made on the subject of the exclusion of pigs from Ireland; and whether, in view of the greater success obtained by Ireland in dealing with swine fever, he will see that any future regulations will not unfairly restrict the importation of pigs from Ireland.
§ THE TREASURER OF THE HOUSEHOLD (Sir EDWARD STRACHEY, Somersetshire, S.)The representations made by the hon. Member will be kept in view, but the new Orders which my noble friend proposes to issue do not relate to importation of swine from Ireland to great Britain.
