CANBERRA, March 21.

The Acting-Prime Minister. Dr. Earle Page, answering a question in the House of Representatives, to-day. said that the British Government had enforced a limit on the proportion of chilled beef which was being shipped from Australia, with the result that some carcases which would have been shipped as chilled, would now have to be exported as’frozen. The Acting-Premier said he regretted to say that great losses would he sustained by the exporters here, if the British Government adhered to its decision. He expected Mr who was arriving at London to-day, would immediately take the matter up with the British authorities.
