HC Deb 11 March 1940 vol 358 cc815-6
16. Mr. W. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will invite a member of the Horticultural Trades Organisation, the official organisation of the horticultural seed trade, to sit on the Co-ordinating Council which he is setting up to advise him on the development of agriculture in war-time?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I have received a request from the Horticultural Trades Association to be allowed to nominate a representative on the council to be set up in connection with the campaign for the production of food from allotments and private gardens; this request is being given careful consideration.
