Mr. Ralph Howell : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was (a) the total amount paid by each member state of the EEC in cereals co-responsibility levy for each year since the co-responsibility levy has been operative, expressed in both the member state's national currency and in pounds sterling and (b) the total tonnage of cereals produced in each member state of the EEC, showing in each case how much per tonne the co-responsibility levy represents.
Mr. Curry : The latest information provided by the Commission of the European Communities on cereals co-responsibility levy receipts in each member state was given to my hon. Friend on 18 December 1990, Official
Column 396
Report column 133. The sums collected are expressed in budgetary ecus. It is not possible accurately to convert them into national currencies and sterling because no information is available on the timing of levy payments over the course of each year.Commission figures for annual cereals production in each member state where co-responsibility levy was collected are set out below, as is the levy collected divided by national production. It should be noted, however, that there is not an exact correspondence between the year in which grain is harvested and the following year's levy receipts. Nor is levy necessarily collected in the country of origin of the grain.

Mr. Ralph Howell : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the current state of the cereal sector.
Mr. Curry : The 1990 United Kingdom cereals harvest is estimated to have been 22.4 million tonnes. Yields were higher than in 1989 and the quality of both wheat and barley crops were good, with a marked increase in supplies of malting barley. Ex-farm prices for breadmaking wheat have been 5 to 11 per cent. higher than last year for most of the season, feed wheat prices 4 to 7 per cent. higher and feed barley prices 2 to 6 per cent. higher ; premium malting barley prices have generally been 7 to 12 per cent. lower than last season. By the end of February some 146,000 tonnes of grain had been offered into intervention. Provisional figures show exports of 4.2 million tonnes by mid-February. The net farm income for cereal farms in the United Kingdom is forcast to have risen in real terms over the last two years.
Mr. Ralph Howell : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what the total tonnage and average price of imported grain from each country which exported grain to the United Kingdom was in 1990 ;
(2) what the total tonnage and average price per tonne of all cereals imported into the United Kingdom was in 1989 and 1990.
Mr. Curry : In 1989, the United Kingdom imported 5,102,000 tonnes of cereals valued at £361,486,000. Information for 1990 is shown in the table in total and by country. The list of individual countries is restricted to those for which the amount imported was in excess of 50,000 tonnes in 1990. Total value has been provided instead of price because of the difficulty of providing meaningful comparative figures for the latter.

Column 398
Mr. Curry : We have received a number of inquiries during the period. Where Members of the European Parliament raise matters in correspondence which are exclusively of local interest, the practice is to reply suggesting that the MEP should refer the matter to the hon.

Member concerned only if the MEP had himself copied his letter in this way.

The committee will include scientists and administrators with expertise in the fields of medicine, radiation science, toxicology, microbiology, nutrition, and food hygiene. The committee will seek such other advice as it considers necessary. The recommendations of the committee will be considered by the Agriculture and Health Ministers acting jointly.
Dr. David Clark : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, further to his answers to the hon. Member for South Shields of 20 December, Official Report, column 297, whether he has now (a) given approval to irradiation plants in non-EC countries or (b) given official authorisation to irradiation plants in EC countries to import irradiated foods into the United Kingdom ; and if he will list all such plants.

Mr. Maclean : The Government have been pressing, and will continue to do so, for amendments to the text of the draft directive to align it more closely with the World Health Organisation international code on the marketing of breast milk substitutes. Nevertheless, mindful of the important compositional, nutritional, health and safety controls in the draft we do not rule out a United Kingdom vote in favour of the directive. If adopted, for the first time there will be specific labelling controls laid down in law for infant formulae and follow-on formulae.
Food Hygiene
Mrs. Ray Michie : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement regarding the implications of the Ministry of Agriculture's research at Torry for the planned implementation of the Food Hygiene (Amendment) Regulations 1990.
