HC Deb 15 May 1911 vol 25 c1800W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked whether the Department of Agriculture in Ireland still files copies of the Consular and Trade Reports of the United States of America; are similar reports of other Continental countries available at the Department's offices; and has the Department taken any steps to make the information in such Reports available in the remoter parts of Ireland?

Mr. BIRRELL

Copies of these reports are received regularly and filed by the Department of Agriculture, and are available for inspection at their offices. No other country supplies the Department with similar Reports. The Department have not considered it necessary to make any direct publication in the remoter parts of Ireland of information contained in the reports, but they are carefully examined, and any information bearing on Irish interests is duly noted.
