HC Deb 04 February 1982 vol 17 c209W
36. Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the latest estimates of wheat and barley already exported to third countries during the current crop year.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Figures for August 1981 are not yet available. Provisional customs figures for exports of wheat and barley from the United Kingdom to third countries between 1 September and 20 December 1981 are 352,000 and 618,000 tonnes, respectively. In addition, it is likely that some of the exports recorded as going to other Community countries are reshipped to third countries.
