HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 cc312-3W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many(a) farmers and (b) farm workers were employed in England on a county-by-county basis in June.

Mr. Gummer

The numbers of farmers and farm workers on main agricultural and horticultural holdings are collected each year under the June agricultural and horticultural census. Results at county level are published from each census in the "Farmers and Workers" section of the "Published Statistical Material" (PSM) statement. The latest statement is for 1989 and a copy is being placed in the Library of the House of Commons.

Information from the 1990 June agricultural and horticultural census is currently being processed and will become available next year.
