Sir Russell Fairgrieve
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, how much of the United Kingdom 1982 barley crop is now held in intervention stores in the United Kingdom; and how much has been exported to go into intervention abroad.
Mr. Buchanan-Smith
About 10 per cent.—1·1 million tonnes—of the 1982 United Kingdom barley crop is held in intervention stores in the United Kingdom. I have no information to indicate that any barley from this crop has been exported for sale into intervention in other member States.
