HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 c944W
Mr. Barnes

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any evidence yet that local authorities are responding to his recent circular urging them to provide additional land for allotment cultivation?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

From references in the Press and from information reaching my Department from other sources I am glad to be able to say that the circular has aroused considerable interest, but the practical results will not be known until the annual returns are available from allotment authorities in urban areas shortly after 31st December next.
