asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the proposed import tonnage of carcase beef and carcase lamb from the Republic of Ireland as set out in the Agreement on Store Animals and Carcase Meat in the White Paper, Command Paper No. 2858, as a percentage of imports from the Republic of Ireland in each of the years 1963, 1964 and 1965, and as a percentage of total imports of these commodities from all sources in the same three years.

Separate figures for imports in 1963, 1964 and 1965 are not available for beef as distinct from beef and veal or for lamb as distinct from mutton and lamb. But using the combined data for imports, the quantities of carcase beef and lamb referred to in the Agreement may be expressed as percentages as follows:
