§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the annual volume of fish imports into Great Britain from European Free Trade Area countries.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsBritish imports of fish from the European Free Trade Area amounted in 1962 to 65.7 thousand metric tons.
60Witself it appears that he himself has powers to give directions to the Sugar Board about the price at which it should sell imported raw sugar to the Irish Sugar Company; and what is the reason for this difference.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsThe draft Agreement does not provide for the Minister to specify the price at which the Sugar Board is to sell raw sugar to the Irish Sugar Company under Article 7, but only the minimum annual quantity. These sales will therefore be subject to Section 1 (6) of the Sugar Act, 1956, which lays upon the Sugar Board the duty to secure the best price it can reasonably obtain.
