HC Deb 02 December 1982 vol 33 c289W
20. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much subsidised European Economic Community food and wine has gone to the Soviet Union to date in 1982; and what were the figures for 1981.

Mr. Peter Walker

No further figures for 1981, beyond those which my hon. Friend already has, are yet available. I have asked the European Commission for some figures for 1982 and I shall write to my hon. Friend when these are received.

21. Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to prevent the sale of subsidised agricultural produce to the Soviet Union.

Mr. Peter Walker

The management of the export refunds system is a matter within the competence of the Commission. We have made our views on the subject clear to them.
