§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many dairy farmers in Wales with less than 40 cows have left the industry in the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsIn the year ending 31 December 1984 the number of registrations relating to herds of less than 40 cows decreased by 241 in Wales. This figure reflects a number of acceptances under the outgoers scheme. In the same period there were 97 new registrations associated with herds of less than 40 cows.
