HC Deb 30 January 1984 vol 53 cc96-7W
Mr. Freud

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the quantities of French carrots imported into the United Kingdom in each of the weeks of January; whether he is satisfied that they are fit for human consumption; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

Statistics of imports of carrots from France in January are not yet available. There have, however, been some French carrots on the United Kingdom market during January. These have been examined in the usual way by marketing inspectors and none have been found to be below the minimum standard.
