§ LORD CARRINGTONMy Lords, I beg to ask the third question standing in my name.
§ [The question was as follows:
§ To ask His Majesty's Government what price per ton is being paid for meat to producers in the United Kingdom, and what is the present price per ton for meat delivered to the main United Kingdom ports from the Argentine under the recent Agreement.]
§ LORD HENDERSONMy Lords, the average price per ton paid to the United Kingdom producers for meat is £126 19s. 3d. I regret that I am unable to supply the information asked for regarding the Argentine meat, the detailed contract for which has not yet been finally signed.
