HC Deb 15 April 1919 vol 114 cc2727-8W
Mr. WILKIE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the need of increasing the supply of meat in this country, he will say what steps he is prepared to take to remove the embargo on the importation of Canadian cattle?

Sir ARTHUR BOSCAWEN

No such steps as are suggested by the hon. Member are necessary in order to increase the supply of meat. Animals from Canada may be landed at the present time in this country provided they are slaughtered within ten days at the port of landing.
