§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent farmers are permitted or encouraged to maximise the range of goods sold in their farm shops, including the buying in from wholesalers of other food and related products.
§ Mr. BaldryI have been asked to reply.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 26 April, Official Report, column 320. It will be for the local planning authority to take into account the advice in planning policy guidance note 7, together with all other material planning considerations, in reaching planning decisions on farm shops in the countryside.
