43. Mr. HUGH BARRIE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if he will state what sum has been expended on the erection of lairages for Irish cattle at the port of Ayr since 30th September last; and whether the figures have been verified by the Department of Agriculture?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am informed by the Ayr Steam Shipping Company, Limited, that accounts for all the expenditure upon the lairages at Ayr have not yet been rendered to them.
