HC Deb 28 July 1908 vol 193 c1241
MR CATHCART WASON

I beg to ask the Prime Minister if his attention has been directed to the fact that, since the last Colonial Conference, when the question of the unrestricted importation of Canadian cattle was discussed at no great length, no representations have been made by the Canadian Government to His Majesty's Government with reference to the subject; and if, in view of the dangerous infectious diseases existent in America, he will not propose any modification of the existing law unless such modification is accompanied by the stringent quarantine regulations in force in America and Europe.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.

There is no present intention of proposing any legislation in regard to this matter.
