§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the percentage of agricultural land now farmed by (a) companies, (b) owner/farmers and (c) tenant farmers.
§ Mr. StrangAccording to the June 1977 census 55.7 per cent. of agricultural land in England and Wales is farmed by owner-occunpiers and 44.3 per cent. by tenant farmers.
I regret that no figures are available about land farmed by companies.
