No pork or pork product was exported to Spain during the period stated in the question. It may assist the Deputy if I say that the only commercial export of pork or pork products to Spain during the past year took place on 13th November, 1962, and consisted of a consignment of 6,266 cwts. of pork carcases exported by the Pigs and Bacon Commission. I have no function as regards the trading transactions of the Pigs and Bacon Commission in pork or pork products. The Commission's annual report and accounts for the year 1962 will be furnished in due course and copies laid before the House in accordance with the statutory requirements.
