MEAT SUPPLY
BRITAIN LEADS THE WORLD
QUANTITATIVE 'REGULA-
TION
LONDON, lOti February. Speaking at Manchester, the Minister of Agriculture, Major W. E. Elliott, said that the quantitative regulation of meat was not a mere expedient to meet a crisis,' but had come to stay. The Government had given "a lead to the world in respect to the, regulation of meat supplies. ' The arrangements made iv November had undoubtedly avoided a calamitous situation. The foreign Dominion Governments concerned had voluntarily co-operated in a sytem of regulation and recognised it as a real solution of market stabilisation. . "'
Captain Sir G. E. W. Bowyer (Con.), answering for the Minister of Agriculture, told a questioner in tho House of Commons that in aeco'rdance with tho arrangements made in November tho. marketings of South American chilled beef had been reduced 10 por cent, from 15th November to 31st Docember. '■ •:._, The 'arrivals for the first' six weeks of 1933 were 10 per cont. below the rates permitted hy the Ottawa agreement. It was intended that the same reduction should continue to the end of March.
