WHEAT AND POULTRY.

HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 cc1172-3W

Sir B. STAINIER

asked the Minister of Agriculture the estimated value of the wheat crop and the poultry crop of the United Kingdom in the year 1920?

Sir R. SANDERS

The value of the United Kingdom wheat crop of 1920 may be estimated at about £31,000,000. With regard to poultry, no official statistics have been collected as to the extent or value of the produce since 1913, and then only in respect of holdings over one acre. No complete or up-to-date information is available, therefore, on which to base an estimate of the production in 1920.
