HC Deb 30 March 1926 vol 193 c1843
68. Sir ROBERT NEWMAN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that adequate steps are being taken to strictly enforce Section IX, Part VII, of the Importation of Cattle Order, 1923, so that cattle conveyed by ship to this country are protected from exposure to cold during the voyage?

Mr. GUINNESS

The Ministry has for some time been in communication with the North Atlantic shipping companies as to the provision of better protection against weather for animals carried upon deck, and the case of the "Manchester Producer" may be taken as adding force to the representations which I are continuing to make.
