HC Deb 16 March 1978 vol 946 cc280-1W
20. Mr. Newton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to publish his updated version of the White Paper "Food from Our Own Resources".

21. Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the progress in the review of the targets set out in the White Paper "Food from Our Own Resources".

Mr. Strang

"Food from Our Own Resources" did not set targets for individual commodities, but included projections and guidelines on the balance between sectors.

The review is wide-ranging and thorough and all the relevant evidence has not yet been received. I hope that it will be completed by the early summer.
