§ Mr. Bostonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the resumed negotiations with France on the import of Charolais cattle into Great Britain; and when he expects the negotiations to be complete.
§ Mr. John MackieAfter further talks between the British and French veterinary authorities, the French exporters have agreed to the Probang test which we require for foot-and-mouth disease. The British Charolais Society and the exporters are now making the arrangements necessary to enable testing and quarantine to go forward. I cannot yet say when the importation will take place.
