Government lifts lamb export ban under new scheme
A government plan will lift the export ban on 1st and 2nd quality lamb weighing 23 to 42 lb from July 1 to store surplus and support producers. It sets prices below UK contract levels, offers canning subsidies for mutton, storage charges, and cash credits payable after shipments, with safeguards for discrepancies funded by Commonwealth credits. The scheme also limits frozen mutton export and regulates beef exports to secure producer returns.

Government price scheme for forequarters and canners
Government outlines a tiered pricing plan for beef forequarters. 1st quality for export under UK contract price, with the difference funding a Commonwealth canning fund. If 1st quality cannot be exported, forequarters go to canners at Commonwealth purchase price. A “Canners” price will be established from forequarter purchases and market beef. The gap between Canners price and canned meat sales is bridged by Government. If exports lag, the same low-price buy and equal canner price apply, with the gap again funded by the Government.
