HC Deb 25 October 1971 vol 823 cc229-30W
54. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what diminution of the quota of foreign apples from 68,750 tons in the second half of 1971 he proposes for the first half of 1972; and, having regard to home-growing resources, whether he will reduce the foreign apple quota for the first half of 1972 to 40,000 tons.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No. The global quota for the second half of 1971 is 15,200 tons, and we have decided that the quota for the first half of 1972 should be 68,750 tons. These figures are both at the same level as in the 1970–71 season.
