To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what quantities of sea trout were imported in 1991; and what tariffs were applied to non-EC imports.

Information on sea trout cannot be distinguished from import figures for all trout. For 1991, figures for trout are available from Her Majesty's Customs and Excise up to the end of August, when 660 tonnes had been imported from EC partners and 108 tonnes from third countries. For the period September to December 1990, the comparable figures were 654 tonnes and 138 tonnes.The general import duty rate applicable is 12 per cent. except for smoked trout for which the figure is 14 per cent.
