HC Deb 18 December 1975 vol 902 cc719-20W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the volume of poultry meat produced and consumed in the United Kingdom last year; and what proportion of the United Kingdom production came from Wales.

Mr. Bishop

No separate production or slaughtering figures are available for Wales, but it is estimated that of the 622,000 tons of poultry meat produced in the United Kingdom in the year ended March 1975, 42,000 tons—about 7 per cent.—was produced in Wales. Total United Kingdom consumption in this period was some 627,000 tons.
