HC Deb 10 July 1978 vol 953 c449W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the retail price per ton of imported frozen chips during each of the past four years; and how many tons were imported for each of those years.

Mr. Bishop

Imports of frozen potatoes during the first five months of this year totalled 5,276 tons—value £1.2 million—but before 1st January 1978 they were not separately distinguished from other frozen vegetables in the Overseas Trade Statistics. No information is available on the retail price of imported frozen chips.
