Australian and New Zealand Meat

HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 c210W

73. Mr. H. Fraser

asked the Minister of Food how many tons of meat he anticipates receiving from Australia and New Zealand in 1951.

Mr. Webb

Australia and New Zealand send us almost the whole of their exportable surplus, but we cannot be sure what this will be in 1951. Last year Australia sent us 126,734 tons of carcase meat and offal and New Zealand 356,468 tons, as well as 11,670 tons and 3,110 tons of canned corned meat.
