HC Deb 13 December 1932 vol 273 c182
24. Mr. LUNN (for Mr. T. WILLIAMS)

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of the meat which is imported from the Argentine and Uruguay to this country is purchased at the ranches, and what proportion is purchased at Liniers; and the price at each point on the latest date for which figures are available?

Dr. BURGIN

I understand that about 95 per cent, of the chilling cattle required for export are purchased at the ranches, and about 5 per cent. at the Liniers market. As regards prices, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to his question yesterday.
