Mr. Wigley
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the number of agricultural holdings held on tenancy in Wales and in England, respectively, in 1956, 1966 and 1976.
Mr. Strang
I regret that the information is not available for the years in question. For the nearest years the information is as follows:
| Agricultural holdings rented wholly or in part | |||
| 1960 | 1970 | 1974 | |
| Wales | 24,500 | 17,600 | 15,400 |
| England | 151,000 | 107,900 | 98,400 |
