HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 c91W
Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the figures for increased farmers' rents for 1966 in Scotland are not yet available.

Mr. Ross

Information about farm rents is obtained along with other economic data from a representative sample of farms, over the period June-May. The collection of data relating to the year ending May, 1966, has only recently been completed. The material is now being analysed. I shall send my hon. Friend the figure for 1965–66 as soon as it is available.
