§ 43. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is intended to issue an Order in Council allowing the importation of breeding stock into Great Britain?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe Ministry proposes, in accordance with Section 7 of the Importation of Animals Act, 1922, to lay before each House of Parliament a Draft Order with regard to the introduction into Great Britain of breeding cattle from Canada.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that to allow the importation of breeding cattle from Canada would be a distinct breach of faith with the agricultural community.
§ Sir R. SANDERSI do not realise that.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKCan the right hon. Gentleman say why the Government are much more anxious to encourage agriculture in Overseas Dominions than at home?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is an argument.
