§ 55. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Food if his attention has been called to the announcement of the Minister of Agriculture for Eire that the discrimination in prices between fat and store cattle seriously affected the development of the livestock industry in Eire as a source of meat supply to Great Britain; and if early adjustment of prices will be reconsidered.
§ Mr. StracheyI have seen Press reports of the statement referred to, but I am afraid I cannot comment on the questions at issue at the present time. The hon. Member will recall that we announced a substantial increase in the price of fat cattle from Eire last autumn.
