§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) if he will make available in the Library data covering the overall usage of aircraft in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and other situations since 1979, in the manner in which it was previously published by his Department;
(2) why data on the overall usage of aircraft in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and other situations is no longer published by his Department.
§ Mrs. FennerData on the aerial application of pesticides in agriculture, horticulture and forestry for the years 1978 to 1981 have been published in the pesticide usage survey report series (reports numbers 22, 28 and 34). A report for 1982 is in preparation.
The collection, for the purpose of the annual review of agriculture, of data on the overall use of aircraft in agriculture and so on was discontinued in 1980 as being of insufficient significance to justify the costs of collection.
