§ 73. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken to increase the capacity of the cattle quarantine stations so as to facilitate the export of pedigree stock to the Dominions and other overseas countries; and how many animals are at present awaiting shipment.
§ Sir T. DugdaleI have arranged for an extension to the Glasgow Quarantine Station to be put in hand, if it is stilt necessary, when we know the intentions of the Canadian Government regarding the resumption of livestock imports from this country. The quarantine facilities at the other two stations in London and Liverpool are adequate. I understand from the Livestock Export Group that about 900 cattle and 60 head of small stock are at present awaiting shipment.
