§ 61. Major WHELERasked the Minister of Agriculture the countries, in addition to Canada, from which live cattle fo[...] slaughter purposes imported into Great Britain?
Mr. SMITHThe importation into Great Britain of live cattle for the put- 2319 pose of slaughter at the port of landing is at present allowed from the Eastern States of the United States, from the Union of South Africa, and also from Canada. There is no prohibition against the landing of fat cattle from Australia or New Zealand for slaughter at the ports, but the long sea voyage and the fact that the vessel would have to call at a port in a scheduled country en route to Great Britain render the trade from those Dominions impracticable.
