HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 cc1655-6
40. Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of its bearing upon British policy, he will ascertain on what scientific evidence the Canadian Government have come to the conclusion that, because of the prevalence of foot-and-mouth disease in Denmark, the importation of Danish bacon into Canada should be prohibited?

Dr. ADDISON

I will ask my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, to endeavour to obtain from the Canadian Government information on this subject.
