Vol. 80 No. 14

Exported Live Stock (Insurance) Bill, 1940—First Stage.

Leave granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision for insuring certain shippers of live stock against loss of, or damage to, such live stock occurring in course of transit, and against liability for general average contributions under the Marine Insurance Act, 1906, to provide for the payment of levies by such shippers, and to provide for certain other matters connected with the matters aforesaid— (Minister for Agriculture).
Second Stage ordered for Wednesday, 19th June.

When will this Bill be circulated?

This evening, or to-morrow morning.

Will the Minister make the next stage of this Bill the occasion of an explicit statement on the pig situation? As the Minister is no doubt aware, there is some obscurity as to what the immediate future holds. Will he be in a position to do as I suggest?

I have been hoping every day to be in a position to do that. The fault is not altogether with us.

I quite appreciate that.

I prefer to wait a few days longer before I would make any statement.

Perhaps on the Second Reading next week the Minister might be in a position to make a statement?

By that time I hope to be in a position.
