HC Deb 05 November 1940 vol 365 cc1237-8W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether in view of the fact that the experiences of 1940 have shown that we have too much of one kind of vegetable and not enough of another, such as onions, he will suggest to people who have gardens and allotments, that they should concentrate on vegetables which hitherto we have had largely to import and can no longer do so?

Mr. Hudson

The vegetable cropping policy for gardens and allotments, now being formulated for circulation to organisations, etc., concerned in advising the growers, is based on such considerations as my hon. Friend has in mind.
