§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many farmholdings in the United Kingdom exceed 500 hectares; and how many of these are predominantly lowland farms.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithTable 6.1 ofAgricultural Statistics, United Kingdom 1980 and 1981 shows the number of holdings in the United Kingdom over 500 hectares. A copy is in the Library of the House. I regret that the number of holdings that are predominantly lowland is not readily available.
