§ 14. Lieut.-Colonel D. WHITEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the prohibition of long-distance pigeon races to France and from France to England is most prejudicial to the full training of carrier pigeons; and if he will make representations to the French Government to ensure that, at any rate, after the ratification of Peace with Germany, these long-distance races may be resumed?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI understand that the situation is as represented in the first part of the question. If the hon, and gallant Member will give me further par- 549 ticulars, I will gladly consider whether the subject is one on which representations could properly be made to the French Government.
