Mr. Canavan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the amounts and value of surplus food in the Common Market; and what are the average amounts and values for each year since United Kingdom entry to the European Economic Community.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The information requested for each year since we joined the Community is not readily available. Information for 1978, 1979 and 1980 (to date) is being assembled and I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
