The Livestock Industry Act 1937 was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 20 July of that year.[1] The Act was part of a comprehensive proposal for the stabilization of domestic production and prices of beef and regulation by quota of foreign beef importation.[2] A subsidy measure was imposed by tariff levied on foreign beef, while Australian and New Zealand producers were favoured.[2]
The Act was repealed in its entirety by the Agriculture Act 1957.[3]
