HC Deb 08 July 1982 vol 27 c205W
41. Mr. Colvin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the latest available figures showing the percentage of the United Kingdom's total exports of food, feed and live animals accounted for by exports to other European Economic countries.

Mr. Peter Walker

The latest available trade figures are for March 1982 but since one month's figures cannot give a reliable indication of the percentage of the United Kingdom's exports of food, feed and live animals going to particular markets, the figures below are for the first quarter of 1982.

United Kingdom exports of food, feed and live animals* to each European Community country as percentage of total value
January to March 1982
West Germany 8.4
France 14.3
Italy 4.0
Netherlands 8.4
Belgium/Luxembourg 6.8
Ireland 14.4
Denmark 1.1
Greece 0.3
European Community Nine 57.7
