§ Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that all available land is being used for the greatest production of human food; and what are the principles which guide him in deciding which foods are to be produced.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsYes, Sir. Every effort is made to ensure that all available land is used to the best advantage for food production. National requirements, as determined in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food, are the basis for deciding what production targets should be set for particular commodities.
