HC Deb 15 January 1913 vol 46 c2098W
Sir THOMAS ESMONDE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if his attention has been directed to a resolution from the Wexford County Council protesting against the twelve hours' detention period in the case of Irish cattle exported to England as ruinous to the Irish cattle trade; and whether, in view of this resolution and of the effects the regulations of his Department have had for several months past on the Irish cattle trade and upon' Irish trade generally, he will take immediate steps to remove all embargo on healthy Irish cattle?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the latter part of the question, I have nothing to add to the answers which I gave yesterday to several questions on this subject.
