HC Deb 24 October 1956 vol 558 c48W
95. Mr. Ede

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what amount of money was spent by the Devon War Agricultural Executive Committee on Hatherleigh Moor during the period of requisition, showing separately the cost of reclamation and other costs; and what was the sum received from the sale of crops and other receipts.

Mr. Nugent

Precise figures cannot be given, but it is estimated that £1,200 was spent on reclamation, and £44,000 on general farming, and that £45,000 was obtained from sales of crops. These figures exclude expenditure on machinery, transport and administration and make no allowance for subsidies.
