HC Deb 19 March 1917 vol 91 cc1575-6W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade in what boats and belonging to what firm 12,00'0 carcases of lambs, 2,000 quarters of beef, and 2,000 sheep were shipped from Buenos Ayres to the United States of America in the week ending 17th November last; and in what boats, owned by what firm, were 24,000 quarters of beef and 5,000 sheep consigned on a similar voyage during 30th November last?

Mr. G. ROBERTS

From the particulars it seems probable that the former cargo was conveyed on an American vessel and that the latter was a consignment brought to this country viâ New York in a British ship.
