Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Agriculture, Fisheries and Food – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 2 March 1964.
Mr. Pearl:

Gentleman aware that from 1947, from the beginning of the production drive, up to 1951–52 the real incomes of farmers went up by 20 per cent. and that production went up by 20 per cent? But that is not the situation now, and there is anxiety in the farming community. Why are farmers angry if everything is satisfactory?
