HC Deb 05 November 1912 vol 43 c1056W
Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture the cause of the delay in granting permission to forward livestock from Dublin to Birkenhead and Glasgow which occurred on last Friday and Saturday?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Perhaps the hon. Member will supply me with particulars of the cases to which he refers, so far as Birkenhead is concerned. As regards Glasgow, I believe that some little delay arose owing to the fact that the stock coming forward was in excess of the accommodation available there.
