HC Deb 07 November 1932 vol 270 cc13-4
27. Mr. LIDDALL

asked the Minister of Agriculture if in the interest of the English stock breeder and feeder, he will, in view of the numbers of Irish cattle awaiting shipment, take steps to have the importation of these cattle strictly limited and only permitted under licence?

29. Captain McEWEN

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps, if any, he contemplates taking in view of the threatened heavy importation of Irish cattle?

Major ELLIOT

I can assure my hon. Friends that no relevant factor will be overlooked in the consideration now being given to the situation in our livestock industry.

Mr. HEALY

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that Ireland is the only country with whom we had a favourable balance of trade in 1931?
