Domestic Food Producers

HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 cc262-3W

56. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Agriculture what has been the reaction of the County Garden Produce Central Committee to the proposal of the Committee on the Organisation of Domestic Food Producers regarding the future of their organisation.

Mr. G. Brown

I have now discussed my Committee's proposals with the County Garden Produce Central Committee, and the National Allotments and Gardens Society have subsequently agreed to delay implementing the decision on the proposal to establish a special rural section pending discussion of details with representatives of the County Garden Produce Central Committee and the Village Produce Association movement. Pending these discussions I do not feel it would be wise to make any further statement.
