HC Deb 19 December 1986 vol 107 c820W
Mr. Robert Banks

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will set out the number of new intervention stores built during the last 12 months, together with their cost, size and location in (a) the United Kingdom and (b) other member countries of the EEC.

Mr. Gummer

No new Crown intervention stores have been built. Information about the building of new commercial stores which may or may not be used for intervention is not available. The United Kingdom Government do not have the information requested in respect of other member states of the European Community.

Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the foods, or wines, arid the amounts, that are in intervention storage in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Gummer

A note setting out the volume of intervention stocks in the European Community as a whole and in the United Kingdom separately is deposited in the Library of the House and is updated monthly.
