HC Deb 15 January 1981 vol 996 c601W
24. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is now in a position to indicate the provisional amount of wheat, butter, beef and wine exported to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by the European Economic Community in 1980; and by what percentage these exports exceed or are less than the average exports for each commodity in the previous five years.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 8 December. No further information is yet available. My hon. Friend will see from the figures I gave him on 8 December that exports of these commodities have fluctuated so considerably from year to year that average annual values have little significance.
