HC Deb 14 May 1985 vol 79 c80W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for each year since 1955 the net income of farmers compared to the amount paid out to farmers from public funds directly and indirectly.

Mr. MacGregor

Details of the net income of farmers and of public expenditure on national grant schemes and subsidies and since 1972–73 under the CAP are contained in the "Annual Review of Agriculture" White Paper series and the departmental "Net Income Calculation Historical Series Booklet"; both of which are available in the Library of the House.
