HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 c249W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether it remains the policy of Her Majesty's Government to increase the import duty on mutton and lamb on 1st February next.

Mr. Godber

Following representations by the New Zealand Government and as a contribution towards the current efforts to contain inflation, we have decided not to impose the third stage of the increase in the duties on mutton and lamb, due on 1st February, 1973. The duties will therefore continue at their present rates.
