MEAT FOR BRITAIN
MINISTER ANSWERS QUESTIONS
[per press association.]
WELLINGTON, October 31.
A question by a farmer as to “what the Government is doing with regard to the rake-off between the farm gate and f.0.b.” in the purchase of meat for sale to the United Kingdom Government was answered by the Minister for Marketing (Mr. Nash) in a radio broadcast this evening.
The Minister said the freezing companies, the Meat Board, and Government representatives had been in negotiation to determine the price which would be paid for work between the farm gate and delivery on board ship. His previous answer on the same point was repeated by the Minister in reply to a Motueka farmer, who asked who would get the profit on wool sold by Britain outside Britain. “The answer is that New Zealand’s portion of the profit will go to the farmer,” Mr. Nash said.
