HC Deb 12 February 1987 vol 110 c325W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much butter and beef from the European Economic Community's intervention food stores in Dundee is to be released in the current scheme to help the needy; and what further plans he has to distribute such foodstuffs on an all-year basis.

Mr. John MacKay

The amount of food being released from stores and distributed is dependent on the needs established by the charitable organisations. The present European Community scheme ends on 31 March 1987, and I am not aware of any plans to extend it.
