§ 49. Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will arrange for his Department to publish annually a comprehensive survey of farm incomes in Wales.
§ Mr. John MackieFigures of farm incomes for Wales are published annually in the Welsh Digest of Agricultural Statistics. The information is also published in the Annual Reports "Farm Incomes in England and Wales ". As an interim measure, because of a change in the method of classification, farm income data for Wales in the Annual Report for 1965 was amalgamated with similar information for Devon and Cornwall. In the next Report, to be published in March, 1968. information will be shown for Wales separately.
§ Mr. MorganWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that encouraging reply, may I ask him to confirm that the rather more comprehensive studies that have been made by the universities, and particularly by the University of Wales, in respect of Wales will be incorporated in the official Government publication?
§ Mr. MackieYes, Sir. I can confirm that.
