HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 c111W
Mr. Home Robertson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will arrange a press conference for the launch of the new edition of "Home Defence and the Farmer".

Mrs. Fenner

Arrangements for the launch of this booklet will be decided when a date for publication has been set.

Mr. Home Robertson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many inquiries were received during 1984 about a new edition of "Home Defence and the Farmer"; and how long it is since stocks of the previous publication ran out.

Mrs. Fenner

Many oral inquiries are made about this booklet but these are not recorded. Thirty one written inquiries were received in 1984. This includes 15 parliamentary questions. Stocks of the booklet ceased to be available from Her Majesty's Stationery Office in June 1974.
