HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 c445
57. Mr. HUGH BARRIE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he will keep the special facilities of Heysham Harbour before him when arranging for the opening of further English ports to Irish cattle?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The answer is in the affirmative. One of the officers of the Board has visited Heysham with a view to ascertain whether accommodation for the reception of Irish cattle could be provided there, and communications are passing between the Board and the Midland Railway Company. I hope that it may be possible for the necessary arrangements to be made very shortly.
