§ Mr. DavidsonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Wakefield (Mr. Hinchliffe), of 6 November,Official Report, column 583, how much beef was held in 622W interventions on 27 March; how much of this has been incinerated; and how much of that which (a) has and (b) has not been incinerated originated in Scotland. [6592]
§ Mr. BaldryA total of 5,341 tonnes of UK beef was held in intervention on 27 March 1996. None of these stocks have been incinerated.
Three hundred and sixty-six tonnes of the above total was offered into intervention by offerers located in Scotland although this does not necessarily mean that the beef itself originated from Scottish herds.
