PRIMARY PRODUCE
INSURANCE SCHEME GOVERNMENT CONSIDERATION. EXPLANATION BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. An explanation of the situation concerning war risk insurance on export produce was given on Saturday by the Minister of Agriculture. Mr Barclay. The Minister said that at the meeting of the South Auckland Dairy Association held in Hamilton last week a statement was made to the effect that the Australian Government had accepted a war risk insurance on dairy produce in Australia. The true position, however, was that the United Kingdom Government accepted a war risk insurance in Australia, on exactly the same lines as in New Zealand. That was, from the time of shipment of the produce. Neither in Australia nor in New Zealand was there a war risk insurance on meat or dairy produce before shipment. The dairy industry in Australia was itself considering the introduction of a scheme of its own for butter and cheese to cover war risk while the produce was awaiting shipment.
“In this country the Government is giving early consideration to a general insurance scheme for all primary products,” Mr Barclay concluded.
