asked the Minister for Agriculture if in view of the depressed price for cattle at the present time he will consider continuing the subsidy on beef after 30th June, 1961.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Deputy Wycherley's Question of 13th June.

Is it not a fact that the subsidies on exports of beef are to be continued at the current rate until 31st December and thereafter they are to be fixed at 20/- per cwt.?

Not exceeding 20/-.

I see, but that is the fact?

Those are the facts.
