§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can state by counties the estimated amount of derelict land which can be usefully employed for the production of food?
§ Mr. R. S. HudsonThe County War Agricultural Executive Committees in England and Wales have already taken possession for the purpose of increased food production of some 32,000 acres of land, the majority of which comes within the description of derelict or semi-derelict land. Additional cases are being dealt with daily. I am, however, unable to supply figures by counties of the derelict land in the country.
