HC Deb 13 February 1989 vol 147 c90W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of agricultural land within Warrington, South is high-grade agricultural land.

Mr. Ryder

The area has not been surveyed in detail and the published 1:63,360 scale agricultural land classification map gives only a generalised indication of land quality. It shows approximately one third of the agricultural land as grade 2, and almost all of the remaining land as grade 3.
