Captain A. EVANSasked the Minister of Agriculture if any agreement has yet been come to with Belgium to allow the killing of horses in this country, and so to stop all export of live horses for slaughter; and, if not, will he reconsider the question of a prohibitive export tax on these animals?
Mr. WOODThe answer to the first part is in the negative. The matters raised in both parts of the question will no doubt come within the purview of the Departmental Committee which I have just appointed.
