Lord Stanley of Alderley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the percentage rejection rates in the United Kingdom, France and Germany for the following cereals offered into intervention.

  1. 1. feed barley
  2. 2. feed wheat
  3. 3. bread making wheat
and, if there is any disparity, what are the reasons.

In the United Kingdom the rejection rates are about 5 per cent. for barley and feed wheat and about 40 per cent. for bread making wheat. No comparable data is readily available for France and Germany.
