§ 48. Mr. CAUTLEYasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the Motion standing in the name of the hon. Member for East Grinstead; 1908 whether he has received a petition signed by over 150 Members of the House of Commons calling attention to the serious shortage of feeding-stuffs and discontent caused to farmers by the action of grading and live-stock officers; and whether he can allot a day for the discussion of these matters?—["That, in the opinion of this House, the regulation of imports and exports and the system of administration of the feeding, grading, and sale of cattle, sheep, and pigs are vitally affecting the flocks and herds of the country and require immediate attention."]
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)I am afraid that it will not be possible to give a day for this subject, but I hope that it can be discussed on the Vote of Credit.
