HC Deb 22 January 1997 vol 288 c671W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many inspections of retail and manufacturing food premises were carried out in each local authority area in England in each year since 1990. [12094]

Mrs. Browning

Copies of summaries showing the total number of inspections carried out in food premises in each UK local authority area for the years 1991 to 1995 have been placed in the Library. Data for the year 1990 is not available and the data for 1996 will not be available until May this year.

A breakdown of these figures showing inspections specifically in retail and manufacturing premises in England is not readily available and could be produced only at disproportionate cost.
