HC Deb 18 June 1991 vol 193 c136W
Mr. Maginnis

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the stocking levels for cattle, sheep and pigs for each region within Great Britain; and what stocking density per hectare this represents for cattle and sheep.

Mr. Maclean

Information on stocking levels is given in the table; data are taken from the June 1990 agricultural census, and therefore cover all main holdings in the annual census. Information on stocking density is not readily available but grazing area has been shown in the final column of the table.

Mr. Maclean

The Governments of Iceland, Norway and Japan are well aware of our policy on whaling and we shall continue to use appropriate opportunities to raise the issue with them.
