§ Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received a resolution from the council of the borough of Southwark asking him to make the order contemplated by Section 2 of the Importation of Animals Act, 1922, authorising the importation into Great Britain of non-tubercular Canadian cows and heifers; and what action he is taking in the matter?
Mr. GUINNESSThe answer to the first part is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to a similar Question which was addressed to me on the 7th April last by the hon. Member for the Forest of Dean (Mr. Purcell).
§ Mr. NAYLORasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is yet considering the advisability of authorising the importation into Great Britain of non-tubercular Canadian cows and heifers, under the terms of Section 2 of the Importation of Animals Act, 1922?
Mr. GUINNESSFor reasons given in previous answers, I am not prepared to re-open the settlement arrived at in 1923 at the Imperial Economic Conference.
