HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 c239W
33. Sir H. Harrison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy towards encouraging the cultivation of allotments for food in order to attempt to mitigate some of the effects of increased world prices.

Mr. Peart

I very much welcome efforts to increase domestic food production, including that from allotments and gardens. This goes hand in hand with the Government's policy to encourage the maximum economic production of food in the United Kingdom.
