HC Deb 26 November 1984 vol 68 c404W
Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to assist in the disposal of grain delivered to intervention stores.

Mr. MacGregor

Some minor improvements have already been made this season, in response to requests from traders, in the arrangements for the release of grain from intervention onto the home market, and we will continue to press for a relaxation of the Community rules concerning such release. The release of intervention stocks for export is a matter for the European Commission.
