Written Answers. - Meat Imports.
The latest month for which information is available is August 2000. The following tables show the type, value and volume of meat imported from the UK for the years 1985 to 1999 and for the eight month period, January to August 2000.
The information attached was provided in response to parliamentary questions on 8 and 15 November 2000, respectively. Imports are recorded by country of origin and it is not possible to determine from the trade statistics whether meat imported from the UK was produced from animals originating in the UK or elsewhere. where two or more countries are involved in the manufacture of a product, the country of origin is the country in which the last substantial process takes place.
