HC Deb 04 February 1998 vol 305 c683W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to monitor farm income in Cumbria. [27017]

Mr. Rooker

Farm incomes in Cumbria are monitored through the Farm Business Survey, conducted in this part of the United Kingdom by the University of Newcastle. The university publishes the results annually in "Farming in Northern England". It is expected that the next edition of this report, covering results for 1996–97, will be published at the end of this month.
