Mr. Sidney Marshall
asked the Minister of Food what quantity of pork he expects to import from France this year
Dr. Summerskill
Discussions are to begin soon between officers of my Department and of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries with a French delegation. It is hoped that these talks will result in agreement on health regulations which will make it possible to negotiate for the purchase of pork.
Mr. Frederic Harris
Will the Minister bear in mind, in regard to the importing of pork, whether at the same time we can get any from East Africa?
Dr. Summerskill
Yes, Sir.
