§ Brigadier-General SPEARSasked the Home Secretary whether, in considering the matter of the rodeo competitions at the British Empire Exhibition, he has taken into account the fact that the cowboys, who have come from different parts of the Empire as well as from the United States of America, are dependent for clearing their expenses whilst in England, which have to be paid for by themselves, upon the sums they may win in the competitions; whether he is aware that they pay for entry into each competition in advance; and whether, in view of the fact that the rodeo is an exhibition of feats which are part of the daily life of the ranches, he will undertake that nothing shall be done to interfere with this performance?
Mr. HENDERSONI have no knowledge of the matters stated, but I do not see how they could be relevant to the question whether or not the law is being broken.
