§ Dr. StrangTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many(a) male and (b) female agricultural workers live in tied cottages in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. AncramNo official figures are available for the number of agricultural workers living in tied cottages. However, based on the results of the 1992 earnings of hired labour survey, it is estimated that there were 170 male agricultural workers living in a house or cottage provided by their employer in 1992. No female workers are recorded as living in such accommodation.
