HC Deb 03 July 1930 vol 240 c2166W
Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will state the acreage of potatoes under cultivation in this country in 1928, 1929 and 1930 respectively, and the corresponding figures for cereal cultivation?

Dr. ADDISON

The areas under potatoes and cereals in England and Wales in 1928 were 489,019 acres and 4,493,071 acres respectively, and in 1929 the corresponding figures were 518,808 acres and 4,479,714 acres. I regret that particulars for 1930 are not yet available.
