HC Deb 25 October 1994 vol 248 c575W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his latest estimate of hill farm incomes in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Farm incomes for 1992–93 are contained in "Farm Incomes in the United Kingdom", published in March 1994. Estimates of hill farm incomes for 1993–94 together with forecast for 1994–95 are due to be published as part of the autumn hill review on 29 November. Final figures for 1993–94 are not yet available but on the basis of data currently analysed incomes are expected to have risen compared to 1992–93.
