MEAT REGULATION.
ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN PROPOSALS
THE TERM EXPLAINED.
. SYDNEY, Nov. 8. Meat exporters in Sydney have been officially informed that the British Government is negotiating with the Commonwealth Government for a curtailment of exports of frozen beef and veal. . The Minister of Commerce emphasises that the proposals do not mean restriction, but merely regulation which, if adopted, will operate for two months in the slackest period of the Australian export season and this year only. The Government is now ascertaining the views of Australian beef exporters. Until these are obtained, no decision will be communicated to the British Government.
NEGOTIATIONS BY DOMINION,
COVERING ALL MEAT.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Nov. 8. In the House of Representatives this afternoon Mr A. D. McLeod drew the attention of the Prime Minister to a cabled report in the newspapers regarding a suggestion that the United Kingdom Government intended to regulate shipments of meat. The Prime Minister said the New Zealand Government was in close consultation with the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board and was at present engaged in negotiations initiated by the British Government concerning meat imports into the United Kingdom. Those negotiations covered all classes of meat, and their importance to New Zealand was fully appreciated by the Government. It was hoped that acceptable arrangements would be made, and so far the negotiations had been satisfactory. The aim was to safeguard the interests of dairy farmers as well as those of other producers of meat. Details of the discussions could not be published at present, nor without the consent of the British Government.
