HC Deb 24 July 1987 vol 120 c621W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of agricultural/horticultural holdings in multiple ownership and/or the number of farmers/horticulturalists with more than one holding; and if he will provide such figures as he has available to show the concentration of ownership in terms of land per person rather than size of individual holdings;

(2) whether he will bring up to date the information on the size and tenure of agricultural holdings given in the reply to the hon. Member for Great Grimsby on 22 July 1982, Official Report, column 252.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I shall write to the hon. Member.
