HC Deb 23 April 1914 vol 61 cc1130-1W
Mr. HARRY HOPE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether Glasgow will now be included in the list of ports at which Irish store cattle can be imported?

Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if he is aware of the necessity of including Glasgow among the ports that should be opened at the earliest opportunity; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

An Order will be issued by the Board to come into operation on Saturday next, placing Glasgow in exactly the same position as the other Scottish ports, namely, Ayr, Greenock, and Stranraer, to which Irish animals are admitted subject to four days' detention on arrival At the end of that period they may be removed under licence to specified premises, there to be either slaughtered or kept under observation for fourteen days.
