§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if British food manufacturers are able to import sheepmeat from the Falkland Islands for manufacturing purposes free of any quota restriction or other form of import control.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithUnder the import arrangements negotiated with the Community's principal suppliers of sheepmeat, the import charge has been halved to 10 per cent. in return for limitation by the supplying countries of the level of their exports to the Community. For supplies from countries that have not negotiated such arrangements—including the Falkland Islands—the import charge is also halved within certain quantitative limits. These limits have not been reached in 1981 and it is open to suppliers in the Falkland Islands to take advantage of the reduced import charge.
