§ Mr. WATTasked the Prime Minister whether, in consequence of the shortage of store cattle in England and Scotland, he will consider the necessity of introducing legislation for the admission of such cattle from Canada under discretionary power of the Board of Agriculture, as in the years 1892–96, especially in view of the fact that the Canadian Prime Minister at the Colonial Conference in 1907 described the exclusion of admittedly healthy cattle as a great injustice to Canada?
§ The PRIME MINISTERHis Majesty's Government do not think that legislation on the subject is practicable at the present time.
