HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 c202W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Agriculture the acreage of land operated by the Essex War Agriculture Committee; whether he is aware of the hundreds of acres of land at present covered with weeds; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made into the matter?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

4,468 acres have been taken over. The committee is exercising its powers regarding weeds. Perhaps the hon. Member would let me have particulars of any area he has specially in mind.
