§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why his Government are still inviting applications for licences for the import of pork from the United States of America.
§ Mr. StrangAll licences to import pork or pork offals from the United States of America have been withdrawn and no fresh licences are being granted for the time being. Special arrangements are being made for a few consignments which are currently in transit on the high seas and which, I am advised, do not constitute an unacceptable animal health risk.
