HC Deb 11 July 1917 vol 95 cc1931-2W
Mr. F. MEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state the number of appointments made for the purchase of fat cattle in Ireland under the new military arrangements and the names and addresses of those appointed?

Mr. DUKE

No appointments have been made, and it is not contemplated to make any. It is proposed to work through a committee of persons engaged in the cattle trade, with headquarters in Dublin and branches at the chief ports of shipment.
