Mr. Guestasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the present position of the market for mutton and lamb in this country; and whether, in the light of the decision reached at the Empire Producers' Conference at Sydney, any steps can be taken to regulate supplies of mutton and lamb from the Empire to this country in order to ensure more remunerative prices to the home producer?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 9th May to my hon. and gallant Friends the Members for Buckrose (Major Braithwaite) and for Tiverton (Lieut.-Colonel Acland-Troyte). With regard to the resolution adopted by the recent Empire Producers' Conference at Sydney, I am prepared to consider sympathetically any representations that may be made to me on this subject.
