HC Deb 24 November 1975 vol 901 c41W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much grain was imported in 1972, 1973, 1974 and in 1975 to date from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and what proportions of such grain were of North American, or other non-Soviet, origin.

Mr. Bishop

During the period in question the only United Kingdom grain imports from the USSR were those in 1972, when 253,581 tons of wheat were imported. These figures show only the country from which the grain was shipped; details of country of origin are not available.
