HC Deb 23 November 1908 vol 196 cc1794-5
MR. STANIER

I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if the British and Irish 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 STRACHEY

The 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.
