HC Deb 19 June 1952 vol 502 cc119-20W
90. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he proposes to make a new order governing the travelling conditions of horses and donkeys brought into this country by sea from Ireland; and whether he will include in such order an instruction that all solipeds, as well as cattle, should have 24 hours' rest on arrival.

91. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Agriculture how soon he expects to make an order ensuring suitable conditions of travel for horses from Ireland across England to France for slaughter.

Sir T. Dugdale

I hope to be able to make an Order within the next fortnight which will ensure suitable conditions of travel for horses coming into England from Ireland and elsewhere. I would, however, refer my hon. Friends to the reply I gave yesterday to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Knutsford (Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport), and on 25th February to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for East Grinstead (Colonel Clarke).
