Mr. P. Browne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish the figures for 1960–61 comparable to those produced at Table V in the Report by the National Resources (Technical) Committee entitled "Scale of Enterprise in Farming."

The figures in this table of the Report were derived from the "two-year identical samples" of the Farm Management Survey. The figures from the Farm Management Survey for the two-year identical sample for 1959–60 and 1960–61 are as follows:
