The Livestock Industry Act 1937 was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 20 July of that year.[1] The Act was part of a proposal intended to stabilise domestic production and beef prices through quota regulation of foreign beef importation.[2] The Act imposed a subsidy measure through tariffs levied on foreign beef, which favoured Australian and New Zealand producers.[2]
The whole act was repealed by section 36(1) of, and part I of the fourth schedule to, the Agriculture Act 1957 (5 & 6 Eliz. 2. c. 57), which came into force on 1 September 1957.[3]
