HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 cc260-1W
Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if he will make a statement on allotments policy.

Mr. Willey

Yes. I propose to appoint a committee to review general policy on allotments in the light of present-day conditions in England and Wales and to recommend what legislative and other changes, if any, are needed.

I am glad to say that Professor Harry Thorpe, who is Professor of Geography at Birmingham University, has agreed to serve as Chairman.

I hope to make a further statement giving the membership of the Committee shortly.
