§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will undertake not to reimpose a levy on meat imports as long as prices to the consumer are at or above their present levels.
§ Mr. PriorThe United Kingdom tariff on imports of fresh, chilled and frozen beef and veal from non-preferential area suppliers was suspended from 6th June until 15th July, following the suspension of the European Economic Community's tariff on cattle and beef. The aim was to help moderate recent rises in United Kingdom beef prices. Before the period of suspension expires the question of extending the period will be reviewed, taking account of the circumstances at the time.
