HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c238W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food over what period, and by how much per lb., has the price of imported New Zealand lamb exceeded the market price of English lamb; what effect this continued to have in the operation of levies on imported meat; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

In the last 12 months, wholesale prices of New Zealand lamb exceeded wholesale prices of English lamb during November by about 1d. per lb. Levies are not yet applicable to imported meat.
