HC Deb 23 April 1990 vol 171 c32W
60. Mr. Jack

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what are the principal determining factors which affect the income of the estates for which he is responsible in Lancashire.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The factors which affect the income of the estates are, in general, those affecting the agricultural economy. Most of the farms are dairy units and I am pleased to say that the farmers concerned have adapted well to the regime of milk quotas.
