HC Deb 10 May 1993 vol 224 c329W
Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how he measures the cash earnings of farmers.

Mr. Curry

Farmers' earnings may include income from both the farm business and other sources. Income from the farm is measured from sample surveys of the farm business and these also provide some information on non-farm incomes. Latest results from these surveys and the various definitions employed are published in Farm Incomes in the United Kingdom 1991–92.
