Mr. Deakins
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the latest figure for stocks of imported mutton and lamb; and what was the comparable figure one year previously.
Mr. Anthony Stodart
The stocks of imported mutton and lamb reported as being in public cold stores on 11th February, 1972, were 17,600 tons. The comparable figure for precisely one year earlier is not available due to the postal strike at that time, but the figures at 15th January and 12th March were 25,800 tons and 35,600 tons, respectively.
