asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) if he will state the number and estimated value of all classes of cattle, sheep, and swine, respectively, exported from Ireland in the three months July, August, and September, 1911, and in the corresponding three months of 1912, with the total cash difference between the two periods?

Mr. RUSSELL (Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture, Ireland)

The answer will be circulated with the Votes.—[See Written Answers this date.]

Mr. GINNELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman state the exact figure showing the difference between the two periods?

Mr. RUSSELL

Over £1,000,000 sterling.

Mr. GINNELL

May I ask whether there is any corresponding loss to owners of store cattle?

Mr. RUSSELL

I would rather not enter into that.
