14. Mr. Vaneasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many bulls were exported during 1955 to the North and South American continents; and what proportion were valued at less than £300 excluding the cost of freight.
Mr. AmoryThe total was 315. Information is not available showing the individual value of all the bulls but the indications are that the number valued at less than £300 was very small.
Mr. VaneIs my right hon. Friend aware that the last part of his Answer 1688 is disappointing, and that there is a potentially large market for worthwhile bulls at commercial prices in large parts of both continents of America, particularly those troubled by dwarfism? Will he see whether it cannot be made more widely known that good bulls are obtainable from this country at other than fancy prices?
Mr. AmoryI am interested in what my hon. Friend has said, and I hope it will receive publicity. I will certainly do what I can to see that it gets publicity.
