HC Deb 26 January 1967 vol 739 cc345-6W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the acreage of barley on farms qualifying under the winter keep scheme; and how much barley is sold off those farms.

Mr. Ross

It is estimated that 28,000 acres of barley are grown on farms qualifying under the winter keep scheme and that 48 per cent. of the 1964 crop (the latest cropping year for which such information is readily available) was sold off.
