§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will remove all import duties, levies or other restrictions on imports of meat and undertake not to impose any during 1973.
§ Sir G. HoweI explained the position on beef, veal, mutton and lamb in my reply on 26th January to the hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Alfred Morris). The existing import duties on pork and bacon will cease on our adoption of the Community's pigmeat regulations under which imports from third countries will he subject to levies. Existing quantitative restrictions on the importation of bacon will be removed at the same time.—[Vol. 849, c.254.]
