HC Deb 19 February 1914 vol 58 c1150W
Mr. MACMASTER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture when the Annual Report of the Board of Agriculture for the year 1913 will be available; and what orders, if any, under the provisions of the Diseases of Animals Act, 1910, have been made by the Board of Agriculture in regard to the shipment of worn-out and unfit horses from ports in the United Kingdom to foreign countries?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS (for the President)

It is impossible to say exactly when the Annual Report of the Animals Division of the Board will be available, but my right hon. Friend hopes that it will be ready before Easter. The only Order of the Board issued under the Diseases of Animals Act, 1910, is the Exportation of Horses Order of 1910 (No. 2), a copy of which will be sent to the hon. and learned Member to-day.
