HC Deb 20 January 1983 vol 35 c220W
32. Sir Russell Fairgrieve

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, how much of the United Kingdom 1982 barley crop is now held in intervention stores in the United Kingdom; and how much has been exported to go into intervention abroad.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

About 10 per cent.—1.1 million tonnes—of the 1982 United Kingdom barley crop is held in intervention stores in the United Kingdom. I have no information to indicate that any barley from this crop has been exported for sale into intervention in other member States.
