§ Mr. JOYCEasked the President of the Board of Agriculture when the restriction on the exportation of Irish hay will be removed, seeing that foot-and-mouth disease has almost disappeared from those parts of Ireland where it existed, and also seeing that the greater portion of Ireland and the provinces of Minister and Connaught have been free from the disease for about thirty years; and whether he is aware of the fact that poor farmers are very hard hit by reason of not being able to sell their hay, and that numbers of poor men are thrown idle through the same cause?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANPerhaps the hon. Member will allow me to refer him to the answer I gave yesterday to the question on this subject, which was addressed to me by the hon. Member for Mid-Armagh.
