HC Deb 26 October 1966 vol 734 cc176-7W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much barley of the 1966 crop has been exported, to the most recent date for which figures are available; and how this compares with exports from the 1965 crop for the same period last year.

Mr. Hoy

The quantity of home-grown barley exported during July and August this year was about 108,000 tons compared with only 800 tons in the corresponding period last year. Nearly all the 70,000 tons or so exported during July this year would have been from the 1965 crop.
