HC Deb 16 March 1978 vol 946 c286W
46. Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of the United Kingdom's food requirements is produced in the United Kingdom according to the latest available figures.

Mr. Strang

The latest available information shows that nearly 54 per cent. of the United Kingdom's food requirements was produced in the United Kingdom in the year ending 30th June 1976. I cannot give a figure for 1977 for the reasons explained in the answers to Questions from my hon. Friend the Member for Rother Valley (Mr. Hardy) on 12th January and 16th February.—[Vol. 941, c.815; Vol. 944, c. 320–1.]
