HC Deb 14 December 1916 vol 88 c875W
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) if he will take steps to see that inspectors of the Department visit the railway stations and ports to inspect goods traffic which is being sent from various parts of Ireland to England, with a view to seeing that there is no delay in the carriage of poultry, butter, and eggs to the markets for Christmas, and that this traffic is properly handled?

Mr. RUSSELL

Inspections of the nature referred to are already carried out by the Department. Special attention will continue to be given to questions affecting the transit of agricultural produce.
