HC Deb 12 July 1922 vol 156 cc1210-1
29. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the High Commissioner of Canada, as representing the Dominion, has been consulted with reference to the lifting of the Canadian cattle embargo?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The High Commissioner for Canada has on several occasions represented to the Minister of Agriculture and myself the views of the Canadian Government.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

May I ask what are those views?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I was not aware that there was any doubt as to the views of the Canadian Government.

Mr. MALONE

In view of the very-different statements made on this matter, will the right hon. Gentleman compile a Black Book?

Mr. STURROCK

Will the right hon. Gentleman take an opportunity in Debate of expressing those views?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I should certainly contribute my views as representing the. Colonial Office. To-day the House is in possession of the Canadian aspect.
