168WAWhat steps they intend to take to bring forward the date of publication of the Annual June Agricultural Census. [HL1756]
§ Lord DonoughueThe production of the census results for England is already on a very tight schedule, with the provisional June 1997 results published on 2 September 1997 and the final results published on 18 December 1997. The 1997 UK results were not published until 3 March 1998 due to processing difficulties in one of the UK agricultural departments. These are being addressed.
