§ 14. Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many tons of pork meat and sausages have been imported per month from East Germany and Poland over the last year.
§ Mr. HoyFrom East Germany, none, Sir. From Poland, for the 12 months ended August, 1966, monthly averages were: Pork, none; Sausages, 70 tons; Bacon, 4,230 tons; other pigmeat products, 580 tons.
§ Mr. MillsDoes not the Joint Parliamentary Secretary realise that this is just the beginning of a trickle because of the levies which are going up in the Common Market countries and that this trickle will develop into a flood unless something is done immediately and that we shall become the dumping ground for many of the products from Europe?
§ Mr. HoyThe figures do not bear out that assertion. The one the hon. Gentleman talks about—in the main, bacon—is done under the bacon agreement.
