HC Deb 28 April 1982 vol 22 cc295-6W
Mr. Robert Atkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will assess the general agricultural conditions in England and Wales during April 1982.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The economic conditions and prospects of the agricultural industry are assessed each autumn rather than month by month. The results of the most recent such exercise are set out in the "Annual Review of Agriculture 1982" White Paper (Cmnd. 8491).
