Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland which Scottish local authorities were in receipt of levy-free beef and veal under the provisions of European Community Council regulation 3929/86; in what quantities; and under what conditions.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The European Community Council regulation 3929/86 allocated quotas of frozen beef and veal for 1987. Those Scottish local authorities which applied to participate in the scheme were allocated the following amounts:

Local authority Tonnes
Central Regional Council 2.935
Lothian Regional Council 8.009
Strathclyde Regional Council 25.509
Orkney Islands Council 0.204

Local authorities are required to ensure that the produce is used in institutional catering in their areas and that the allocations represent an economic benefit to them. Successful applicants must allow their uptake of quota to be monitored by the member state.

Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland which firms in Scotland are licensed to receive and distribute levy-free beef and veal; and what records are kept as to the ultimate destinations of the carcases or finished products.
