§ 50. Major Beamishasked the Minister of Food how many dead rabbits have been imported this year and from what countries; and if he will take immediate steps to preclude the import of any more foreign rabbits.
§ Mr. StracheyUp to the end of September, some 38 million rabbits were imported from Australia, about three million from New Zealand and about three-quarters of a million from the Irish Republic, less than one rabbit per person in this country. I would not dream of prohibiting the import of this useful food.
