HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2016
11. Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that deputations from the Irish Cattle Traders and Stock Owners' Association and the South of Ireland Cattle Trade Association interviewed the Chief Secretary respecting the undue detention for ten hours of live stock in Great Britain after arrival, also regarding the absence of electric light in the inspection lairs; and whether any improvement may be expected?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir Richard Winfrey)

The Department have not so far received any communication from the Chief Secretary on this subject. Should they do so, the matter will be carefully considered with a view to taking any necessary action.
