Allotments

Countess of Mar Excerpts

Wednesday 3rd December 2014 Lords Chamber

[The Countess of Mar (CB)]

My Lords, is there a reason why private landholders or even charitable landholders such as the National Trust should not let out parts of their land to people who want allotments?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

There is no reason why they should not, my Lords. In fact, the National Trust has supported Defra’s recent pollination strategy, which is so important in protecting insects such as bees, which have been short in number in recent years.
