Extract

In talking about trends in land tenure and ownership, I propose to confine myself, mainly, to agricultural land in England and Wales, as agriculture is by far the biggest single use to which our land is put. Let me say, at once, that there is a marked lack of co-ordinated statistics on many aspects of the subject and I have, therefore, thought it best to round-off the majority of the figures quoted. For the convenience of those who may wish to pursue the matter further, a list of the main sources of information has been included in the references.
