HC Deb 19 March 1968 vol 761 cc78-9W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the number of holdings with laying flocks of one to five thousand birds in each of the five years from 1963 to 1967 in Wales.

Mr. Hoy

Figures for 1964 and 1965 are not readily available. For the remaining years the information is as follows:

Number of holdings in Wales with egg laying flocks of one thousand to five thousand birds
1963 127
1966 186
1967 234

The figure for 1963 is not strictly comparable owing to changes in the Census questionnaire since that date.
