§ Sir R. Aclandasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can give any figures to show, at the latest convenient date, what proportion of agricultural holdings are occupied by owner-occupiers and what proportion by tenants; and what proportion of the cultivated acreage of this country is occupied by owner-occupiers and what proportion by tenants?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithNo information is available to show the proportion of agricultural holdings owned by the occupiers, but it is estimated that in 1938 approximately one-third of the total area of cultivated land and rough grazings was farmed by owner-occupiers.
