169.

asked the Minister for Agriculture who received the contract for drawing intervention beef out of cold storage in this country to Marseilles in the south of France.

It is proposed to answer Questions Nos. 167-169, inclusive, together. The Department of Agriculture has never sent intervention beef to the south of France. However, intervention beef is sold to purchasers who may have customers in any part of the world. Such beef when sold is made available to the purchaser at the loading bay of the cold store where the beef is stored. It is then the purchaser's own responsibility to arrange onward transport.
