§ 19. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Food what are the terms of the new arrangement made by him with the Government of Eire for the supply of cattle and of meat to Great Britain.
§ Mr. StracheyI assume that my hon. Friend refers to the discussions with representatives of the Eire Government which took place in July and September last. The result of those discussions was that the prices which we pay for Eire fatstock and carcase meat were increased by 1d, per lb. from 1st October, 1946.
§ Sir Ronald RossHow does that price compare with the price for United Kingdom fatstock?
§ Mr. StracheyI should require notice of that question.
