§ 78. Mr. John Hyndasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the prohibition against beef imports from Uruguay is still in force; and what steps are being taken towards removing the conditions which led to this ban.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe Uruguayan Government have been informed of the shortcomings which made it necessary for us to withdraw recognition of their official certificate, and two of my veterinary staff have spent three months in Uruguay in an advisory capacity. The improvements necessary will take time to complete but I understand that they are in hand.
