Trade: Foot and Mouth Disease

HL Deb 24 April 2002 vol 634 cc39-42WA

Lord Pearson of Rannoch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Whitty on 25 March (WA 21–23), what are the values of the exports and imports totals given in that Answer. [HL3652]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Lord Whitty)

The attached table shows the monthly value of UK trade in meat and meat preparations between January 2000 and December 2001. The monthly data for February cannot be split before and after the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak. Monthly data are provided so that normal seasonal patterns of trade can be taken into account and to show the effects of the gradual lifting of the export ban.
