HC Deb 02 February 1984 vol 53 cc324-5W
38. Mr. Dykes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with progress in the development of the United Kingdom national food exports promotion and marketing effort.

Mr. MacGregor

Total exports of food and feed from the United Kingdom increased by some 29 per cent. in volume between 1979 and 1982. With the recent establishment of Food from Britain, the national marketing organisation for British food and agricultural produce, I am confident that our export performance in those sectors will improve further.
