Sir A. BOSCAWEN

According to my latest information, the following countries prohibit the importation of live cattle from Great Britain at the present time:

  • Ireland,

  • France,
  • Belgium,
  • Switzerland,
  • Spain,
  • Norway,
  • Finland,
  • Union of South Africa,
  • Southern Rhodesia,
  • Algeria, and
  • Tunis.
In addition, Guernsey continues the prohibition on importation except for slaughter, which has been in force for many years; Jersey has also for many years prohibited importation except for slaughter, but at the present time even such importation is confined to cattle exported from the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, and Hampshire. The Isle of Man prohibits the importation of sheep from Wales and from England except the six northern counties.
