HC Deb 21 January 1977 vol 924 c368W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the figures showing the annual consumption of food per head of population for 1976 will be available.

Mr. Strang

Estimates of consumption in the previous full year are usually published in August or September. However, to meet requests for more up-to-date in-information my Department makes available preliminary estimates in a shortened form in early summer.
