HC Deb 12 November 1981 vol 12 c176W
29. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the average net farm income for the past year.

Mr. Peter Walker

Information is not available to show the average income on all farms. Total farming income in the United Kingdom as shown in the "Annual Review of Agriculture 1981" White Paper, Cmnd. 3132, was forecast to have fallen from £1,145 million in 1979 to £1,025 million in 1980. A forecast of farming income in 1981 will not be available until the 1982 annual review has been completed.
