HC Deb 30 June 1913 vol 54 c1480
46. Mr. CROFT

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the public announcement of the representatives of the Government of South Africa and of the Ostrich Farmers' Association that the Plumage Bill is strongly favoured by the ostrich farmers of South Africa, he will now state whether the Committee of the Cabinet has come to any decision on the subject?

The PRIME MINISTER

The matter is still under consideration. Looking to the time of the Session, I am afraid it is doubtful whether legislation can be undertaken this year.
