[187500] Alun Michael: The Department's annual budget for research and development on horticulture and potatoes in England and Wales for the budget years 1997-98 to 2004-05 was as set out in the following table. In 2004-05 an additional £2,250,000 was set aside to support the guarantees provided to the University of Warwick and East Mailing Research following the restructuring of Horticulture Research International. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Andrew George: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate her Department has made of agriculture (a) gross value and (b) gross profitability for each year for the last 10 years for which records are available, broken down by (i) region and (ii) agricultural sector. [184760] Alun Michael: We do not have data for gross value and gross profitability by region and agricultural sector. We do, however, have data for total farm output (a reflection of gross value) and net farm income. The trends shown by net farm income could reasonably be expected to reflect those shown by gross profitability. Total farm output and net farm income in England are shown by region and by farm type in the tables.
