§ 64. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what have been the level of imports of beef from Yugoslavia for the years 1960, 1961 and 1962; what tonnage he expects to be imported in 1963; and at what level he expects to keep these imports in the future.

§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsImports in 1960, 1961 and 1962 were, respectively, 777, 17,028 and 39,130 tons. The provisional figure for the first nine months of 1963 is 10,800 tons and I expect the total for the year to be very much lower than the 30,000 tons which the Yugoslav Government estimated as their probable maximum. Arrangements for future imports are still under discussion, but the Yugoslav Government expect their exports to us between now and the end of March, 1964 to be about 2,000 tons per month, but not in any case above 2,500 tons.
