Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the success of Welsh breeders in taking the championships at the last British Friesian Society's annual show and sale in 1966, what proportion of the Friesian in-calf heifers he is to purchase for shipping to Italy will be Welsh.

The arrangements for purchasing Her Majesty's Government's gift of cattle are being made by the Crown Agents on behalf of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Their instructions are to make the best purchases they can within the funds available.
