§ 34. Sir MURDOCH McKENZIE WOODasked the Minister of Agriculture the number of fat cattle imported into Great Britain from the Irish Free State and from Northern Ireland, respectively, for the latest four weeks for which figures are available, and for the corresponding four weeks last year?
§ Mr. ELLIOTImports of fat cattle shipped from Irish Free State ports to Great Britain in the four weeks ended 16th June, 1934, recorded in connection with the Cattle (Import Regulation) Order, were as follow:
§ Week ended—
| 1934. | |
| 26th May | 956 |
| 2nd June | 763 |
| 9th June | 852 |
| 16th June | 514 |
| Four weeks ended 16th | |
| June | 3,085 |
§ Comparable figures for the corresponding period of 1933 are not available, since the classification of Irish Free State cattle on importation into Great Britain as fat or store animals was only introduced when the Cattle (Import Regulation) 1298 Order came into operation at the beginning of this year. Imports of Northern Irish fat cattle into Great Britain are not subject to regulation, and, therefore, no figures are available.
