HC Deb 26 November 1996 vol 286 c138W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 6 November,Official Report, column 584, for what reasons the greatest monthly export of gelatine between January and June 1996 occurred in April. [5666]

Mrs. Browning

We are not aware of the reasons underlying the level of exports of total gelatine recorded for April 1996. However, the variation in the volume of exports in this period is not out of line with the normal monthly variations seen for exports of this commodity.
