HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 c353W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will publish in the Official Report a list of non-temperate foodstuffs imported in 1980 at the full rate of duty in quantities valued at more than £1 million, together with the value of the dutiable imports and the amount of duty collected.

Mr. Peter Rees

There is no ready means of identifying non-temperate foodstuffs within the statistics of overseas trade, and the information requested could in any case be provided only at disproportionate cost.
