§ 15. Mr. BURNETT (for Sir PERCY HURD)asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, in view of the prior rights of Empire over foreign producers in the British market, the committee set up to inquire into the means of ensuring a reasonable return to cattle producers will include representatives of the Dominions as well as the Argentine and the United Kingdom?
The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)My hon. Friend's question is, I think, based on a misapprehension. The inquiry to which he refers is concerned solely with the economic and financial structure and working of the meat trade between Argentina and the United Kingdom and results from the provisions of the Protocol to the Anglo-Argentine Convention dated 1st May, 1933.
