HC Deb 14 February 1985 vol 73 c260W
41. Mr. Maclennan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the trend in farmers' real incomes over the last three years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

Agricultural income inevitably fluctuates from one year to the next. My main concern is over the imbalance between returns to the relatively prosperous arable sectors and those to some livestock sectors. We will take account of this imbalance during the forthcoming CAP price fixing.
