asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the allocation of 38,500 tonnes of imported, levy-free frozen beef and veal for 1978 was split between the member States of the EEC.

In 1978, the GATT quota for the levy-free import of 38,500 tonnes of frozen beef and veal was allocated between the member States of the EEC by Regulation (EEC) No. 2861/77 as follows:

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which were the countries of origin, and the quantities in each case, of imports of levy-free frozen beef and veal which were allocated to the United Kingdom under GATT in 1978 ; and how much was actually imported from each of the countries in question during the last available 12 month period.

Imports of frozen beef and veal under the GATT quota are not restricted to particular countries of origin nor do United Kingdom overseas trade statistics identify such imports by country.
