HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c159W
Mr. Currie

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in the interests of the national economy, he will now review in a downwards direction the quotas for the imports of bacon, butter, cheese, potatoes, meats and other farm and horticultural products from other than Commonwealth countries.

Mr. Peart:

Our international obligations limit the circumstances in which we are entitled to operate import quotas. The level of the few quotas we do have on agricultural and horticultural products are fixed taking into account all relevant considerations.
