HC Deb 17 June 1976 vol 913 cc250-1W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average size of Welsh farms in 1945 and 1975, respectively.

Mr. John Morris

The average size of Welsh farms, excluding holdings consisting solely of rough grazing, in 1945 was 45.8 acres and in 1975 was 80.6 acres. Because of changes in the arrangements for collection of the June census between 1968 and 1973 the information provided is not strictly comparable.
