HC Deb 17 October 1944 vol 403 c2217W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the present approximate annual value of our agricultural output.

Mr. Hudson

The value of the agricultural output of the United Kingdom in 1943–44 is estimated to be somewhat over £540,000,000. In computing this figure Exchequer payments in respect of individual commodities such as wheat and potatoes have been taken into account. The estimate is preliminary and subject to revision.
