54. Dr. MORRIS-JONES

asked the Minister of Agriculture the total acreage of land under cultivation in Wales on the last available date, as compared with the number of acres five years previously?

Dr. ADDISON

The total area of arable land in Wales in 1929 and 1924 was 644,804 acres and 700,947 acres respectively. The area under permanent grass in 1929 amounted to 2,117,106 acres and in 1924 to 2,104,468 acres.

Dr. MORRIS-JONES

In view of the totally different position of agriculture now compared with five years ago, will the right hon. Gentleman circulate the report of the Department, or make it available to the Members of this House?

Dr. ADDISON

I will inquire into the matter, and, if the report is available, I will circulate it.
