HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 c41W
Mr. Gould

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish in the Official Report the net farm income in 1984 of hill and upland cattle and sheep farms in England and Wales, respectively, together with the corresponding figure for lowland farms.

Mr. MacGregor

The latest figures of net farm incomes on hill and upland (less favoured area) cattle and sheep farms and on lowland cattle and sheep farms in England and Wales relate to the accounting year 1983–84. These figures are published in table 27 of the annual review of agriculture 1985 White Paper (Cmnd. 9423). Forecasts of probable percentage income changes between 1983–84 and 1984–85 are given in table 26 of the same White Paper.
