HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 cc302-3W
Mr. John E. B. Hill

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food who compiled and wrote, and on what date, the Study of Capital and Finance in Agriculture in the United Kingdom, recently published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; and what relationship or overlap this study has with the current inquiry into the capital and credit situation in British agriculture under the chairmanship of Professor J. S. G. Wilson.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The United Kingdom Chapter in the Study of Capital and Finance in Agriculture was compiled between the autumn of 1968 and the summer of 1970 by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Secretariat based on information provided by official and other sources. The Inquiry by Professor Wilson is intended to examine these matters in greater depth and to provide firmer evidence on the more speculative aspects.
