§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what increase or decrease there was in the level of income of farms in Wales under the 275 standard man-day per annum limit for the year ended 31st December, 1965, and the preceding year;
(2) what increase or decrease there was in the level of income of farms in Wales over the 275 standard man-day per annum limit for the year ended 31st December, 1965, and the preceding year.
§ Mr. John MackieThe trend of incomes of farms with over 275 standard man-days a year would broadly correspond with that set out in the Answer I gave to my hon. Friend on 12th December about the general level of farm incomes in Wales. Most of the farms with less than 275 standard man-days a year would be part-time farms. I regret that no reliable figures are available on the incomes of this group but the trend of their income over the last two years is unlikely to be very different from that of the larger farms.—[Vol. 738, c.29.]
