§ 59. Mr. John CarlisleTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made as to whether the reduction of 500,000 hectares of wheat production in Europe this season will keep production below the 160 million tonne target.
§ Mr. MacGregorThe latest forecast of area planted to wheat in the Community this year is 15.61 million hectares, 0.27 million hectares below the 1987 figure. It is too early to make a realistic assessment of the 1988 Community wheat harvest.
