HC Deb 03 April 1917 vol 92 c1129W
Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether steps are being taken by the Food Controller to secure that the War Savings Committees, in making their appeal for the exercise of economy in the consumption of food, shall also encourage heads of families to cultivate war gardens and allotments and thus provide by their own exertions a large part of the food that they consume?

Captain BATHURST

Yes, Sir.
