HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 cc605-6W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total volume of oats produced and consumed in the United Kingdom last year; and what proportion of United Kingdom production and consumption, respectively, was attributable to Wales.

Mr. Bishop

In 1974–75, 955,000 tonnes of oats were produced and 944,000 tonnes were consumed in the United Kingdom; 5 per cent..45,000 tonnes—of the production was attributable to Wales, but I regret that the Welsh proportion of consumption cannot be separately distinguished.
