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 proposal intended to stabilize 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The Act was repealed in its entirety by the Agriculture Act 1957.[3]
