HC Deb 08 October 1940 vol 365 c271W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that the Pewsey Vale Garden Produce Association complain that, although in response to the Government's appeal, large quantities of fresh vegetables are being produced on allotments and in village gardens in proximity to the military camps on Salisbury Plain, many of the troops are still being fed from tins; and whether he will consult with the War Office with a view to correcting this state of things?

Mr. Boothby

Consultations are taking place with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War in regard to this matter.
