§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture what have been the figures of imports of lamb and mutton from New Zealand, Australia and South America, respectively, for the months of May, June, July, August and September, 1938; how far are these importations in excess of those for the same months in 1936 and 1937; and how far has the Minister's expectation been realised that quantities will average out in accordance with the understanding that the interests of British flock-masters would be the first consideration?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonWith regard to the first and second parts of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the monthly trade and navigation accounts. With regard to the third part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to my statement during the Debate on the Address on 15th November, when I indicated that total imports of mutton and lamb during the first ten months of this year had declined by some 110,000 cwts. as compared with the same period of 1937.
