HC Deb 18 February 1937 vol 320 cc1368-9
85. Mr. Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to the anxiety of horse breeders as to the possibility of the extension to Birmingham of the regulations prohibiting the use of horse-drawn vehicles; and whether he will take steps to protect the interests of the British horse-breeding industry in this matter?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport has no knowledge of any proposal on the part of the corporation of Birmingham to restrict the use of horse-drawn vehicles in that city. If application for confirmation of an Order should be made to my right hon. Friend, he will give attention to any representations made to him.
