HC Deb 30 June 1981 vol 7 c341W
Mr. Best

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the current levels of intervention stocks held by the EEC of beef, veal and pork, expressed in terms of days of consumption, using the latest figures available.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Stocks of beef held by member States at recent dates were the equivalent of about 11½ days consumption. The European Community does not hold veal or pork in public intervention storage.
