HC Deb 06 March 1933 vol 275 c806
52. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made in the restriction of imports of mutton, bacon, and dairy produce from Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries with currencies depreciated in relation to sterling?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Major Elliot)

I regret I have nothing to add at present to the replies which were given on 9th February and 2nd March, respectively, to my hon. Friends the Member for Colchester (Mr. Lewis> and the Member for the City of Chester (Sir C. Cayzer), of which I am sending him copies.

Mr. LAMBERT

When does the right hon. Gentleman expect to be able to give a reply? Is it not a fact that depreciated currencies in New Zealand and Australia are a breach of the Ottawa Agreements?
