§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Minister of Agriculture when the Canadian Cattle Embargo Removal Act will be in full operation; if he is aware that only two ports have been approved for landing cattle, namely, Glasgow and Dundee; when other ports will be approved for landing cattle; if he is aware that unless other ports are known in time no adequate imports can be expected; and if he will take action in the matter?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe Importation of Animals Act, 1922, will come into operation on the 1st April next, by which date landing places at Birkenhead, Manchester, Glasgow, Dundee and Cardiff will have been approved. Bristol will be added to this list as soon as arrangements are completed, and I understand that proposals for the establishment of landing places are under consideration at the ports of Aberdeen, Leith, Newcastle, Hull, Harwich, London, Southampton and Falmouth. I do not think, therefore, that the facilities for landing Canadian cattle will be in any way inadequate.
