HC Deb 04 May 1914 vol 62 cc7-8
3. Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture how many counties and boroughs in England, Wales, and Scotland allow Irish store cattle to enter their local areas, respectively, and how many do not?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

In England twelve counties and five boroughs, in Wales two counties, and in Scotland twenty-four counties and ten burghs have regulations in force the effect of which is to prohibit the entry of Irish store cattle into their districts. There remain in England thirty-nine counties and 188 boroughs, in Wales ten counties and eight boroughs, and in Scotland nine counties and twenty-two burghs, into which Irish store cattle can be moved subject to the conditions prescribed in the Orders issued by the Board, which have already been explained to the House.
