Cheese

Mr. Geraint Howells
asked the Secretary of State for Wales what will be the total tonnage of cheese produced in Wales in 1977; what were the corresponding figures for the last 10 years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris
The level of cheese production in Wales in 1977 will depend on a number of factors, and I regret I am unable to make a forecast. As regards earlier years, statistics on production are unfortunately not readily available.
