HL Deb 01 August 1984 vol 455 cc865-6WA
Lord Ironside

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many hectares of cereals have been grown on United Kingdom farms in 1984, and what the total straw yield from these crops is likely to be at the end of this year's harvest, and how much of this is likely to be treated as waste.

Lord Belstead

This information is not yet available. Details of the number of hectares of cereals grown in 1984 will be published with the June Census results later this year. No assessment of the straw yield from these crops can be made until this information is available.
