HC Deb 24 June 1992 vol 210 c240W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) if he will show the tonnage of(a) lamb, (b) mutton, (c) pork, (d) veal and (e) beef exported from the United Kingdom in each year since 1985;

(2) if he will show the tonnage of (a) lamb, (b) mutton, (c) pork, (d) veal and (e) beef imported into the United Kingdom from EC and non-EC countries in each year since 1985.

Mr. Soames

The tables show exports and imports of the various meats exported from, and imported into, the United Kingdom in each year since 1985. To assist comparability, boneless meat has been converted to bone-in weights, except in the case of bacon and ham which has also been included in the tables. The figures do not include trade in meat offals or in preserved or manufactured meat products—for example, canned meat.
