HC Deb 19 November 1941 vol 376 c348W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether in view of the export of sugar to Russia, he will encourage the production of syrup from sugar-beet, etc., grown in private gardens and issue instructions or state where simple and safe directions for such production can be obtained?

Mr. Hudson

No, Sir, I think that in their own interests private gardeners would be better advised to concentrate on the production of the vegetables recommended in the Ministry's leaflets.
