HC Deb 19 April 1994 vol 241 c444W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the current size in terms of(a) weight and (b) volume of the European Communities' reserve stocks of (a) cereals, (b) beef, (c) grain, (d) butter, (e) milk and (f) wine; and how these have varied since 1979.

Mr. Jack

Tables showing current levels of all produce held in intervention within the European Community are deposited in the Library of the House at monthly intervals, most recently on 8 April. The information currently held in the House Library goes back to January 1985; figures for earlier years were not prepared on the same basis, but the table gives intervention stocks as at 31 December for the years 1979–84.
