HC Deb 16 February 1983 vol 37 c145W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much oilseed was imported into the European Community in each of the past three years; and what levy and quota arrangements apply to such imports.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

In the last three years for which figures are available, imports were as follows:

1979 14,734
1980 14,674
1981 *12,751
