HC Deb 22 July 1982 vol 28 c251W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish in the Official Report such information as is available to him concerning the number of employers and employees in the four main sections of the agriculture industry, or the estimated labour content per unit of output in these sections together with comparable figures for 1970.

Mrs. Fenner

Information concerning the number of employers and employees in agriculture is not available in the form requested. Estimates of standard labour requirements per unit of crop area and per head of livestock are contained in the 1969.70 volume of Farm Classification in England and Wales, pages 4 to 6. The most recent comparable figures are to be found in the 1976.77 volume in that series, pages 4 to 7.
