HC Deb 11 May 1938 vol 335 c1580
51. Major Braithwaite

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether the Government regard the production of food at home as an essential part of the national defence programme; and whether he will make a further statement on the subject?

Sir T. Inskip

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; in regard to the second part I have nothing to add to my statement during the course of the Debate on 9th February.

Mr. De la Bère

Why not do it now, and grow more food?
