HC Deb 09 November 1973 vol 863 cc289-90W
Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the present total level of wheat stocks in the EEC and the comparable figure for 1972.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

I regret that the European Economic Community has not yet released figures for wheat stocks as at 1st August 1973. But the figures for 1st August 1972 were 9 million metric tons for the original Community and 9.4 million metric tons for the Community of Nine.
