HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c16
24. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Food what progress has been made in the negotiations with New Zealand over the price to be paid for butter, cheese and meat.

Mr. Webb

I cannot yet make a statement about butter and cheese. On meat, we have agreed with the New Zealand authorities to postpone negotiations about prices for next season's production until September.

Mr. Russell

Does that mean that everything is satisfactory in our relations with New Zealand over these three commodities?

Mr. Webb

That is my hope.
