Vol. 131 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Live-Stock Export Prices.

asked the Minister for Agriculture what adjustments are due to be made pursuant to the 1948 trade agreement with Great Britain, in the prices payable for cattle, sheep and pigs shipped to Great Britain, consequent on the recent price increases announced in Great Britain for live stock.

On the 1st August the producer's price will be increased as already announced, to 3/6 a dozen.

What has that got to do with the answer to Question No. 26? We do not sell cattle, sheep or pigs by the dozen nor do we intend to sell them for 3/6 a dozen.

The Parliamentary Secretary gave the answer to No. 27.

Sé is fichead—sin é an ceist.

I read the reply to Question No. 27.

The sale is cancelled.

Adjustments will be made involving increases, the details of which will be published as soon as they are worked out in conjuction with the British Ministry of Food.
