HC Deb 10 December 1982 vol 33 cc644-5W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the consumption per person in the United Kingdom for each of the major agricultural products; and what were the comparable figures in each of the three previous years.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Statistics on the new supplies—production plus imports less exports—of each of the main agricultural commodities are published in each year's annual review White Paper. Per capita estimates of food available for human consumption in 1980 and the three previous years were published last December in a "Food Facts" press notice. Other press notices in this series report the quarterly results of the national food survey, which measures household food consumption. All of these publications are available in the Library of the House.
