§ Sir J. Wardlaw-Milneasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the sale of 25 circus ponies and two donkeys for the purpose of slaughter on 12th March; and whether he will take steps to prevent the destruction of these animals, which are young and fit, in view of the necessity for making use at the present time of all animals entirely fit for work?
§ Sir J. AndersonMy attention had been drawn to this matter, but I have no power to take any action.
