HC Deb 20 March 1952 vol 497 c219W
54. Mr. Peart

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consult the Minister of Health as to the best use of land owned by hospital authorities for the purposes of food production.

Sir T. Dugdale

I am already in touch with my right hon. and gallant Friend, who is encouraging hospital authorities to make all reasonable use for food production of land retained by them. They are keeping farmland only when it is required for hospital purposes.
