§ Mr. Liddallasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will direct the agricultural war committees to organise in the non-food-producing residential areas of Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, schemes for beginning, this autumn, to encourage production of more soft fruits and vegetables and to invite their cultivation by voluntary help on the model of national savings collection through voluntary local committees?
Mr. HudsonNo such action appears to be necessary The stimulation of orderly food production in allotments and private gardens is already being undertaken in urban areas by horticulture committees, and in the smaller towns and villages by county garden produce committees.
