Beef export subsidy is not computed per beef carcase, but per lb. carcase weight. With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report a statement showing the average weekly rate and the highest and lowest weekly rates of subsidy per lb. carcase weight paid during each month of 1967.
Following is the statement:
