Mr. Teddy Taylor
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much subsidised European Economic Community food and wine has gone to the Soviet Union to date in 1982; and what were the figures for 1981.
Mr. Peter Walker
No further figures for 1981, beyond those which my hon. Friend already has, are yet available. I have asked the European Commission for some figures for 1982 and I shall write to my hon. Friend when these are received.
