§ Mr. E. L. Mallalieuasked the Minister of Food what steps he takes to verify the exportable surplus of meat to which he is entitled under the recent agreement with Eire; how this surplus is made up; and what items he has agreed shall be subtracted from the total meat marketed in Eire before the British share is arrived at.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeNone. The agreement relates to the exportable surplus and domestic marketings do not enter into the picture. The Republic of Ireland regularly publishes details of exports, and I am entirely confident that it will carry out its obligations.
