§ Mr. R. Morganasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state the source from which he obtains the necessary information as to numbers required in regulating the importation of cattle and sheep from Ireland; whether he consults the Federation of Wholesale Fresh Meat Traders in this matter, and, if not, whether he will do so?
§ Mr. StanleyThe quantities of cattle and sheep to be imported from Eire are normally decided on the recommendations of the International Beef Conference and Empire Meat Council, respectively. I am always ready to bring the views of trade interests to the notice of these bodies.
