Vol. 189 No. 9

Sugar (Prohibition of Import) Order, 1960: Motion of Approval.

I move:

That Dáil Éireann hereby approves of Sugar (Prohibition of Import) Order, 1960.

The effect of the order is to continue for a further period of 12 months from 1st January, 1961, the prohibition on the import of sugar by persons other than Comhluct Siúicre Éireann Teoranta. The prohibition on import is designed to reserve the Irish sugar market for sugar produced from homegrown beet in accordance with the policy of providing the country's requirements from home sources. This order, which is made under the provisions of the Sugar (Control of Import) Act, 1936, is in the same terms as have been approved each year for the past 25 years. Accordingly, I commend it to the House.

Question put and agreed to.
