HC Deb 31 October 1916 vol 86 cc1539-40
120. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether, with a view to increasing the supply of milk, he has considered the advisability of strengthening the Order for maintenance of livestock by prohibiting the slaughter of cows under seven or eight years of age; and whether he proposes to take any action?

Mr. TENNANT

This question is undoubtedly a serious one, and is engaging the close attention of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

But are any steps going to be taken?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes.
