§ Mr. Symondsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the amount of subsidy paid to farmers with an acreage of more than 150 acres for each calf, each ton of barley, each animal reared mainly on barley; and what are the total amounts of subsidy paid to farmers with an acreage of 500 acres to 1,000 acres, 1,000 to 2,000 acres and 2,000 acres or more, respectively.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsSuch information about subsidy payments could not be obtained from the Ministry's records without an undue expenditure of time and labour. I can, however, tell the hon. Member that the present calf subsidy is £7 10s. per head for heifers and £9 5s. for steers; the average barley deficiency payment in the year ending 30th June, 1963, was the equivalent of £7 18s. 4d. per ton; there is no special subsidy for animals reared mainly on barley.
