Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether he can now make any statement as to the intentions of the Board of Agriculture with regard to the adequate maintenance of the horse supply 1189 in the United Kingdom, in view of the steady increase of motor traffic and the consequent discouragement to horse-breeding?
