To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what differences in the statistical methods used there are between "Agriculture in the United Kingdom 1990", and "Agriculture in the United Kingdom 1989".

"Agriculture in the United Kingdom" includes a large number of statistical tables containing figures compiled from a wide range of initial sources. There have been no significant changes in methodology between the 1989 and 1990 issues. However, as indicated in the preface, the figures, and particularly those for the latest (and partly forecast) year, are subject to revision as more information becomes available.
