HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 c179W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has made under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement to the Irish Government about the declining number of cattle exported to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

None. The best endeavours undertaking in respect of store cattle exported from the Irish Republic to the United Kingdom is linked to the circumstances of the trade. In the current situation of trade on the British and European markets, representations would seem inappropriate.
