HC Deb 13 July 1987 vol 119 c348W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a table showing the various amounts of particular foodstuffs held in private and public intervention stocks within the European Economic Community; and if he will also publish the comparable totals for each commodity at the same time in each of the previous five years.

Mr. MacGregor

[pursuant to his reply, 1 July 1987, c. 121]: A note setting out the volume of Community intervention stocks and private storage stocks, including those of foodstuffs, on the latest available dates has been deposited in the Library of the House, and updated monthly, since January 1985. The most recent note was deposited on 1 July. Comparable information on EC stock levels in years previous to 1985 could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
