Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a table showing the quantities and prices, expressed in pence and pounds, of the actual sales concluded by the EEC Commission under its recent regulations which enables it to dispose of butter at special prices to certain nations including the Soviet Union.

Mr. Gummer

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 30 April 1986 at column442. It is still not possible to say what sales have actually been completed in respect of the 110,000 tonnes for which bids have been accepted to date.
