HC Deb 14 March 1985 vol 75 c262W
27. Mr. Wareing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the Government's policy towards proposals for the conversion of surplus European Economic Community grain into plastic and other non-food materials; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

The Government are always prepared to consider the merits of new uses for grain but we would have to be convinced that a project involving the conversion of grain into plastic or other non-food materials was viable.
