HC Deb 13 June 1972 vol 838 c263W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent the beef which is exported comes from animals which have received a subsidy under the various Agricultural Acts; and what is his estimate of the average subsidy.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Some beef exports come from animals on which no subsidies haven been paid, but no records exist which would enable an estimate to be given, either of the proportion of exports on which subsidies have been paid or of the total amount received.
