HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c83W
27. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish as a White Paper an analysis of growth in agricultural output compared with the Selective Expansion Plan of September, 1965, and the Agricultural Objectives Statement of November, 1968, respectively.

Mr. Prior

I am grateful for my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I think such an analysis would serve no useful purpose.

46. Mr. Emery

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the annual average rate of growth in agricultural net output in the quinquennium between a base date of 1964–65 up to and including the latest forecast for 1969–70; and what was the annual average increase in net output between a base date of 1959–60 up to and including output for 1964–65.

Mr. Prior

1.1 per cent. and 4.2 per cent. respectively.
