Publication Of Farm Incomes In Wales

EDM number 1887 in 1992-93, proposed by Lynne Jones on 28/04/1993.

That this House greatly regrets the decision of the Welsh Office to discontinue the publication of farm incomes in Wales; believes that this decision inevitably dilutes readily available information about the economic circumstances of the Welsh agriculture industry; further believes that the decision to cease publication of the statistical document will cause immense difficulties for those wishing to analyse the effectiveness of policy measures in securing structural adjustments of Welsh agriculture in these hard times; and calls on the Government to ensure that full and detailed information concerning aggregate agricultural income accounts in Wales continues to be made available in the public domain.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
