§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe regulations are the same for England and Scotland, and I have under consideration the addition of Scottish ports to the list of landing places, provided that the local authority concerned have not prohibited the introduction of Irish animals into their district and that suitable accommodation for the detention and supervision of the cattle is available or can be promised at the port to which they are brought.
