HC Deb 16 December 1937 vol 330 c1332
60. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Health whether he will take steps to ensure that in future fertile land suitable for market gardens, especially round London, is preserved in town-planning schemes from being built on?

Sir K. Wood

The reservation of land for specified purposes in a planning scheme is a matter in the first instance for the planning authority, but if any proposal of the kind mentioned by the hon. Member were submitted for my approval, it would receive my careful consideration.

75. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture what acreage of market gardens in the counties adjoining the London County Council area has been built on since 1st January, 1919?

Mr. Ramsbotham

I regret that the information desired by the hon. Member is not available.
