OTTAWA AGREEMENTS (IMPORTATION OF MEAT) AMENDMENT ORDER, 1939.

HC Deb 09 February 1939 vol 343 c1232

7.58 p.m.

Mr. Cross

I beg to move: That the Ottawa Agreements (Importation of Meat) Amendment Order, 1939, dated the 4th day of January, 1939, made by the Board of Trade under Section 7 of the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, a copy of which was presented to this House on the 31st day of January, 1939, be approved. This Order is only a corollary to the Order which we have just passed. Hon. Members will appreciate that the last Order makes the importation of live sheep, mutton and lamb into the United Kingdom whether Dominion or foreign subject to licence, and the meat Order of 1932, which covers frozen mutton and lamb from foreign countries, becomes redundant. The effect of the Amendment Order is to exclude frozen mutton and frozen lamb from the operations of the original Order.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved, That the Ottawa Agreements (Importation of Meat) Amendment Order, 1939, dated the 4th day of January, 1939 made by the Board of Trade under Section 7 of the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, a copy of which was presented to this House on the 31st day of January, 1939, be approved.
