HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 c89W
101. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent it is Government policy to use Government money in financing foreign breeds of beef cattle for the purpose of beef production in this country.

Mr. John Mackie

It is the Government's policy that in any importation of breeding stock for beef production no final charge should fall on public funds save possibly to meet the requirements of a research programme.
