HC Deb 22 January 1987 vol 108 c728W
53. Miss Maynard

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his latest estimate of the average post-tax earnings of full-time employed workers in agriculture.

In the 12 months ended September 1986 the average gross weekly earnings of regular whole-time hired men in agriculture in England and Wales were £141.10 for 47.1 hours.
