§ Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he realises that there is a large and increasing number of inferior swine in the country, whose inferiority is due to the use for breeding purposes of an inferior boar and results in poor value being obtained, especially by poor cottagers, for purchased feeding stuffs; and whether he is taking any steps to provide, out of the Board's Grant from the Development Fund, boars of good quality as well as stallions and bulls?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am aware of the facts mentioned in the first part of the question. Swine are included in the scheme for the improvement of live stock which the Board are considering in consultation with the Development Commissioners.
