The latest available official estimate of the national income, that for 1944, is published in the White Paper on National Income and Expenditure, 1938-1944. It has been very roughly estimated, however, that in 1947 the national income was £320,000,000. Agricultural income in that year is estimated at £100,000,000 and the average income per person gainfully occupied in agriculture at about £165.
