§ Mr. John MorrisThe provisional results of the June 1975 Agricultural Census show that there were 23,900 workers—including salaried managers and seasonal or casual workers—and 27,600 farmers, partners and directors on farms in Wales. The corresponding figures for June 1974 were 25,400 and 27,100 respectively. A sub-division of these statistics according to their employee or self-employed status for national insurance purposes is not available.
