asked the President of the Board of Agriculture what was the amount voted by the Italian Government for the purchase of thoroughbreds and hackneys this year in England and Ireland; how many horses were bought; and how does this compare with last year?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Runciman)

I regret that I have no information as to the purchase of horses in this country by the Italian Government.
