HC Deb 22 April 1980 vol 983 cc75-6W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how much sperm whale oil by weight and by declared value was imported in 1979; and what where the principal countries of origin.

Mr. Parkinson

[pursuant to his reply,18 February 1980, c.44]: I must advise my hon. Friend that the attribution of the Canary Islands as a source of our imports of sperm oil in 1979 has been discovered to be incorrect due to a recording error. The countries of origin of our imports of sperm oil in 1979 were France, Iceland, Norway and Peru.
