HC Deb 04 February 1982 vol 17 cc172-3W
42. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he has any conveniently available figures to show how many (a) British produced and (b) foreign produced tractors there are per acre of agricultural land in Great Britain.

Mr. Wakeham

Separate information on the numbers of United Kingdom-produced and foreign-produced tractors and on the corresponding acreage worked is not available. Overall, in 1980, it is estimated that in terms of the area of arable land there was one tractor for every 58 acres in the United Kingdom.
