HC Deb 24 October 1983 vol 47 c12W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he is able to specify the total sums paid in export rebates for wheat and grain by country of destination, but not to provide similar information in respect of other foodstuffs enjoying export rebates.

Mr. MacGregor

Information on export refund expenditure by country of destination is not readily available. When considering specific requests for such information, I am obliged to consider the cost of the special procedures necessary to obtain it, which can vary according to the nature and extent of the information requested.
