HC Deb 03 May 1948 vol 450 cc903-4
60. Mr. Charles Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of farms of no acres or over in 1938 and 1947, respectively.

Mr. T. Williams

In 1938 about 78,500; and in 1947 about 77,500.

Mr. C. Williams

Arising out of the right hon. Gentleman's reply, can he tell me to what extent the change is due to building?

Mr. T. Williams

I am afraid that cannot be done without notice.
