§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the number of farms in North Staffordshire; how many are owner-occupied; and on how many the tenant pays rent.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsI regret that this information is not available for North Staffordshire. In the county as a whole there were 8,090 holdings in June 1963. As for the second part of the Question, our best estimate based upon a survey carried out in 1961, is that just under half the land in the county is owner-occupied and just over half is tenanted.
