HC Deb 21 July 1915 vol 73 c1486
36. Mr. PETO

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture the number of cattle under one year in the United Kingdom at a date in 1915 and a corresponding date in 1914, and the number of cattle under two years at the same dates?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Acland)

The number of cattle as returned in June, 1914, was as follows: Under one year, 2,662,189; one year and under two years, 2,596,988. The corresponding figures for 1915 are not yet available, but I shall be happy to supply them to the hon. Member in the course of a week or two.

Mr. PETO

Could the hon. Gentleman give the figures of a somewhat earlier month in the year? My question asks for the figures at any date in 1915, with the figures for the corresponding date in 1914.

Mr. ACLAND

We have not yet been able to collect and tabulate the figures.
