§ Mr. David Steelasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his estimate of the value of export orders for breeding stock sold to European countries, including the Soviet Union, which were cancelled as a result of the current foot-and-mouth disease outbreak; and what was the estimated value of live and dead meat exports to Europe similarly cancelled.
§ Mr. Peart:Exports of these items tend to be irregular and it is not possible to say what sales might have been if the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic had not occured.
