HC Deb 01 July 1913 vol 54 cc1681-2W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the dissatisfaction expressed by Irish stockowners trading with Great Britain as to the application of the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1894, by the President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, he will, in deference to the request of all Irish traders, grant an inquiry into its administration; and, if not, will he state his reason for refusing?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave him on 9th June, to which I can add nothing.
