§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list those countries to which high-tar EC tobacco is exported; and what quantities are involved.
§ Mr. CurryEC published export statistics for tobacco are not broken down by tar content. Exports of EC tobacco in 1989 were 185,067 tonnes, some 13 per cent. of world exports of unmanufactured tobacco. Eurostat statistics giving countries of destination and quantities are available in the Library of the House.
