HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 c302W
105. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Food what progress has been made in the negotiations with the Australian Government for further supplies of butter for this country.

Mr. F. Willey

We have a long-term contract with Australia running to 1955 under which we receive virtually the whole of her exportable surplus of butter. The only recent negotiations have been to fix prices for 1950–51. These negotiations have not yet been completed.
