§ Mr. Haymanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many sheep were registered for Dartmoor at the latest convenient date; and how many of these were Scotch Blackface.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsOnly rams are registered and there were 939 in 1962, 751 of which were Scotch Blackface. As far as breeding ewes are concerned, I can only give the number on which Hill Sheep Subsidy was paid. In 1962–63, this was 37,729, including shearlings, of which 32,701 were Scotch Blackface.
