§ Major CHAPPLEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in the interest of agriculture and of cheaper and more abundant food, he will now consider the advisability of removing the embargo on the importation of Canadian cattle; and whether, if the possibility of the introduction of infection is still considered a danger, he will consider if isolation and supervision in Canada for a period prior to embarkation would be a sufficient protection?
§ Mr. ACLANDThe Board have very fully considered this question from time to time and do not think it advisable to relax the existing restrictions upon the importation of store cattle. I very much doubt whether the course which my hon. Friend suggests would at the present time either increase the supplies of meat or reduce the price.
