HC Deb 25 January 1968 vol 757 c176W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total of production grants and subsidies, respectively, paid to farmers in Wales in each of the years 1952 to 1967.

Mr. John Mackie

The total payments by way of farming grants and subsidies to farmers in Wales and Monmouthshire since 1960–61 are as follows:

£million
1960–61 8.7
1961–62 9.0
1962–63 8.5
1963–64 8.7
1964–65 10.3
1965–66 10.2
1966–67 10.1

I regret that similar information about payments in earlier years and payments under the agricultural price guarantees cannot be produced without undue expenditure of time and effort.
