HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 c1714W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, with a view to the best means of operating the Tuberculosis Order, 1925, he will consider if the admission of live Canadian cattle into this country would help to secure the objects of that Order?

Mr. GUINNESS

The Tuberculosis Order was designed to deal with certain forms of bovine tuberculosis, and I therefore fail to see how the admission of live Canadian cattle into this country would help to secure the objects of that Order. I would remind the hon. Member that live Canadian store cattle may already he admitted into this country under the Importation of Animals Act, 1922.
