ALLOTMENTS (No. 2)

Early day motion 842, tabled 6 February 2007 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 53 members.

That this House recognises the importance of encouraging people to grow their own produce; further notes the level of demand for allotments amongst people of all ages; realises that in many areas there is a shortage of land for allotments despite the fact that local authorities have a statutory responsibility to provide allotments for local residents; and calls on the Government to ensure that all local authorities honour this statutory obligation in relation to allotments.
