§ MR. STANIERI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if the British and Irish 1795 Boards of Agriculture do consult and exchange orders together; and, if not, will he arrange to do this so that the same procedure may be adopted in the two islands when the same disease is being taken in hand.
§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEYThe reply to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. The conditions obtaining in certain diseases are not always identical in the two countries, and though action on similar lines is recognised as desirable it is not found practicable on all occasions to carry it into effect.
