London, Dec. 1.
The Minister of Agricul- ture, Mr. W. S. Morrison, an- nounced in Commons yester- day that in view of the large proportions of supplies which come from Australia and. New Zealand, approaches had been made to these Dominions to regulate imports of mutton and lamb as from the beginning of 1939.

The Government, that recovery of the Home sheep industry would be accelerated by closer control of imported supplies. It would be in the interests of alf suppliers and would introduce a con- very desirable element of Manager.fidence into the sheep market.
The functions of
Empire Beef Council would be enlarged so that it might also consider future supplies of mutton and lumb to United Kingdom markets. While the Connell would consi- der the supply situation as whole, The United Kingdom Government would reserve to itself responsi- bility regarding regulation of im- foreign ports from
