HC Deb 07 April 1938 vol 334 c536W
Lieut.-Colonel Heneage

asked the President of the Board of Trade with which countries, if any, we have agreements, voluntary or otherwise, to limit the importation of mutton?

Captain Wallace

By Order made under the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, imports of mutton and lamb from foreign countries are limited to approximately 65 per cent. of the quantities imported during the 12 months ended 30th June, 1932. The Trade Agreement of 1936 with Argentina contains provisions regarding the extent to which the United Kingdom Government may further reduce imports from that country. The quantities to be imported from Australia and New Zealand respectively, are the subject of consultation from time to time with His Majesty's Governments in those countries.
