OMISSION REGRETTED
QUESTION TO BE RAISED AGAIN.
LONDON, 14th December.
The Duke of Devonshire, in moving the second reading, of the Cattle Embargo Bill in the House of Lords, regretted the omission.of the clause.
Lord Long said he regretted the omission of the clause giving the Minister of Agriculture permissive powers to sanction the importation of cattle from, other Dominions, and hoped the matter would be discussed at the forthcoming Dominions' Conference.
Lord Stanhope hoped no pledge would be, given by the Government to accede to the Dominions' demands without full inquiry. In closing the debate, the Duke -of Devonshire said he had not the slightest doubt that the clearest possible undertakings had been given, that- the removal of'the restrictions on Canadian cattle were intended to apply to cattle from the other Dominions. He was fully prepared to give an undertaking that if the point were raised at the Imperial Conference, which it was hoped would meet in London in 1923, and satisfactory arrangements were reached, the Government would /introduce legislation to give effect to the arrangements. Bri T tish live stock raisers had no fear of live stock from the Dominions, but the growing competition of chilled and frozen meat.
The Bill was read a second time.
