HC Deb 01 July 1982 vol 26 c369W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the percentage of food consumed in the United Kingdom which is produced in the United Kingdom for the latest convenient period.

Mr. Peter Walker

In 1980, home production for home consumption represented 55 per cent. of all food consumed in the United Kingdom. However, this percentage does not allow for home production for export nor agriculture's use of imported feed, seed and livestock. In 1980, the percentage allowing for these was 60.
