§ 50. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, having regard to the current shortage of beef, he will seek to import beef from Rhodesia.
§ Mr. HoyNo; to do so would be contrary to the United Nations Resolution of 16th December, 1966, which imposed a mandatory prohibition on imports of meat from Rhodesia. Even if this were not so, such supplies would not be exempt from the temporary suspension of imports of beef from most sources that my right hon. Friend announced on 4th December, 1967.
