stocks as at 30 September, the latest date for which figures are available, are listed below. The longest period for which cereals have been held at each store would be disproportionately costly to calculate, but it is estimated that the average period for which current cereals stocks have been held is 10 months. The latest estimate of storage and related costs in respect of intervention stocks (including feed grains) is £102 million as given in the 1985–86 winter supplementary estimate for class III, vote 1.
