HC Deb 10 June 1993 vol 226 c305W
16. Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the balance of trade in agricultural produce between the United Kingdom and France and the United Kingdom and Germany; and what are the main British products involved.

Mrs. Shephard

In 1992 we had a trade deficit of £624 million with France and £403 million with Germany.

Wine was the largest single import in each case.

The largest British exports to both countries were meat and whisky.
