§ Captain MURRAYasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can give the names of the local authorities in Scotland who have imposed restrictions upon the movement into their areas of Irish store cattle?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANAll the county local authorities in Scotland, with the exception of those for Ayr, Clackmannan, Inverness, Kinross, Sutherland, and Zetland, and a few of the burgh authorities, have made regulations prohibiting the introduction of Irish store stock into their respective areas.
§ Captain MURRAYasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he has received any communication from the port authority or the Corporation of Glasgow relative to the restrictions imposed upon the importation into Glasgow of Irish store cattle; and, if so, what is the nature of the communication?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANYes, Sir, I have received a communication from the Glasgow local authority. They are now willing to consider the question of the provision of accommodation for the landing of Irish store stock under the conditions prescribed in the case of Birkenhead and Deptford, and I have instructed an inspector to confer with them at once on the subject.
