§ Mr. MaginnisTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people earn their living entirely from farming in the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone; and if he will indicate the trend since 1972 and projected likely trends till the year 2000.
§ Mr. HanleyThe information requested is not available. Information from the June 1990 farm census indicates that 10,300 persons in the constituency worked on farms, either as farmers, family or hired labour. Of this number 5,000 indicated that they worked full time in agriculture. Comparable data are not available for earlier years.
