§ 26. Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harveyasked the Minister of Agriculture how many store cattle were imported into England and Wales for the years 1935 and 1936, respectively?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe numbers of store cattle landed at ports in England and Wales from the whole of Ireland in the years 1935 and 1936 amounted to 341,000 and 406,000 respectively, of which 284,000 and 353,000 respectively originated in the Irish Free State. In the 2546 same years, 907 and 6,334 respectively of the Canadian cattle landed at ports in England and Wales were licensed out to premises other than a slaughterhouse, but I am unable to say what proportion of these comprised store cattle for fattening. I regret that no particulars are available of store cattle landed at ports in Scotland and subsequently moved across the border into England and Wales, or landed at ports in England and Wales and moved into Scotland.
