§ Mr. ROSSasked the Minister of Agriculture what are the present regulations as to the detention of cattle imported from Northern Ireland before their being put on the market in Great Britain?
§ Dr. ADDISONCattle, sheep, goats and swine brought from any part of Ireland are required to be landed exclusively at landing places approved by the Ministry and there detained in reception lairs for a minimum period of 10 hours, during which they are examined in daylight by a veterinary inspector of the Ministry. If found free from any evidence of disease the animals are licensed from the landing places either to a market specially authorised by the local authority for the exposure of imported animals or to premises, including a slaughterhouse, other than a market. If the animals are moved to a market they must be removed therefrom only to premises for detention for a period of six days or for slaughter. If the animals are moved from the landing place direct to premises other than a market they454W must be likewise detained thereon for six days unless slaughtered. The six days' detention is a statutory requirement imposed by the Importation of Animals Act, 1922 (Session 2). After the expiration of this period of detention the animals are free to be moved any-where in Great Britain.
