HC Deb 13 November 1978 vol 958 c94W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what were the targets set in "Food from Our Own Resources" for the current year; and what is the actual outturn.

Mr. Strang

"Food from Our Own Resources" stated as a broad objective that the net product of the agricultural industry should be capable of a continuing expansion of about 2½ per cent. a year on average, and projected possible levels of agricultural production in 1980. However, it set no targets, either for that year or the intervening years.
