§ Mr. MorleyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of total agricultural support through direct payments is secured annually by(a) the largest 20 per cent. of farmers and (b) the smallest 20 per cent. of farmers.
§ Mr. JackI regret that the information is not available. While the farm business survey collects details of direct agricultural support payments from a sample of farms, it does not provide us with farm by farm returns which would be required to answer this question.
