HC Deb 01 July 1936 vol 314 c420W
Mr. GIBSON

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what restrictions operate against Dominion primary products entering the United Kingdom?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

No quantitative restrictions are placed by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom on the admission of primary products from the Dominions, with which agreements were made at the Ottawa Conference, but voluntary arrangements have from time to time been made for a limitation of the total quantities of beef and veal, mutton and lamb, and frozen pork which are exported to the United Kingdom by the oversea Dominions principally concerned. In the case of the Irish Free State special restrictions apply.
