HC Deb 30 July 1912 vol 41 cc1873-4W
Mr. HUGH BARRIE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture when he now proposes to remove the embargo on the importation of hay from the North of Ireland to England and Scotland?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to refer him to my previous replies on this subject. For the reasons therein given it is not possible for me to allow the importation of hay into

Great Britain from Ireland to be resumed until it is clear that foot-and-mouth disease has been completely stamped out.
