HC Deb 18 May 1971 vol 817 cc254-5W
Mr. Molyneaux

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions have taken place with the Eire Government in the last four weeks about the effects of its subsidy to their dead-meat plants on trade within the United Kingdom.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Views have been exchanged about the revised arrangements introduced by the Government of the Irish Republic related to their carcase beef export subsidy in 1971–72. Her Majesty's Government will watch the operation of the revised arrangements closely, and will review the situation in the autumn.
