§ Mr. Farrasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are his plans to stimulate increased home beef production so as to offset the diminution in supplies from South America.
§ Mr. Peart:The diminution in supplies of beef from South America over the past four months was due to the relatively low prices on our market. There will now follow the temporary suspension which I announced in the debate on 4th December. As for home beef production, I said in the debate that I will make a further announcement before the Christmas Recess on the basis on which we shall approach the problem in the Annual Review.
