HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 c560W
Mr. R. T. EVANS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the proposal to send to South Wales from Canada consignments of cattle for tacking; and, if so, will he state the view of his Department as to the consequences of this policy on the home market for livestock?

Mr. ELLIOT

I am aware that statements in the Press indicate that a proposal of the kind referred to by my hon. Friend is being considered, but I should be reluctant to express views as to the implications of any such proposals at this stage.
