Vol. 174 No. 3

Written Answers. - Farmers Eligible for Benefits under Health Act.

51.

asked the Minister for Health if he will state in respect of each health authority the number of farmers of £50 valuation or under eligible for benefits under section 15 of the Health Act, 1953.

Statistics are not available of the number of farmers in different valuation groups in each county. In Table 8 in Volume III, Part I of the Report on the 1951 Census of Population (Pr. 2322), figures are, however, given for each county of the numbers of persons in the social group "farmers and farm managers" divided by reference to valuation of holdings. Tables 9A and 9B in the same Report give the figures of the actual numbers of farmers in various valuation groups, but only by Provinces. Table 74 on page 92 of the Statistical Abstract, 1958 (Pr. 4564) shows, for each county, the numbers of agricultural holdings in different valuation groupings as on 1st June, 1950.
