Ms. Jowell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps his Department is taking to collect statistics broken down by gender where relevant. [17678]

The Department also collects the following information broken down by gender:

  1. (i) employment on agricultural holdings
  2. (ii) earnings and hours on agricultural holdings
  3. (iii) food consumption and expenditure.
