Owner-Occupied Farms (Hansard, 20 February 1967)

HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 c213W 213W

§ Mr. Gwynfor Evans
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of farms in Scotland are owner-occupied.

§ Mr. Ross
In 1966 the land was owned or mainly owned by the occupier on 41 per cent. of the agricultural units in Scotland. In addition, on about 30 per cent. of units (mainly crofts and landholdings) the house and buildings were owned by the occupier but the land was rented from a landlord.
