HC Deb 08 March 1985 vol 74 c638W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether his coverage of farm incomes in Cmnd. 9423 covers public limited companies wholly or predominantly engaged in agriculture; and if he will publish such information as he has concerning the return on capital in such companies on an historic cost and on a current cost basis before 1978 and in 1983.
