Sir D. NEWTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture the acreage under wheat in June, 1929, June, 1930, and the approximate acreage under wheat now?

Dr. ADDISON

The area under wheat in England and Wales on 4th June, 1929 and 1930, was 1,330,209 acres and 1,346,150 acres. Precise information as to the wheat acreage for 1931 will not be available until the beginning of August, but reports received from the Ministry's crop reporters indicate that it is somewhat smaller than in 1930.
