HC Deb 01 February 1940 vol 356 c1291W
Colonel Ponsonby

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the "Dig for Victory" campaign is designed to encourage the small private grower to cater for his own household requirements or whether he is to be encouraged to produce a surplus; and, in the latter case, how is he to dispose of it?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

The campaign is designed to encourage the small private grower to cater for his own household requirements. It is recognised, however, that the question of securing the effective use of surplus produce must be examined, and I am arranging, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food, for this to be done.
