Dr. RYAN

As we are having a special day for a discussion, in order that we may have an opportunity of testing the views of the House on the Minister's policy on agriculture, to which we, if not diametrically, are very much opposed, we do not intend, on this occasion, to divide the House on this Vote.

Vote put and agreed to.
