HC Deb 18 February 1955 vol 537 c96W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the numbers of Irish store cattle who died of exhaustion while being conveyed by rail from Holy head through Rugby to the South of England during 1954.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Records of the number of cattle dying in transit are not kept by the British Transport Commission, but they tell me that during 1954 four Irish cattle were found dead at Rugby. Two of these came from Holy head.
