HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 cc142-3W
20. Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to establish why exports of subsidised wine to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have increased so substantially.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Export contracts for wine are concluded by private traders in the light of the commercial opportunities open to them. These have increased with the growth of production within the Community.
