HC Deb 06 February 1989 vol 146 c564W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many(a) farmers and (b) farm workers were employed in each county in Scotland in June 1988.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

As a result of local government reform, counties ceased to be used for agricultural statistics purposes after 1975. My noble Friend wrote to the hon. Member last December to provide him with information about the numbers of farmers and farm workers employed in each region in Scotland in June 1988.
