Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to develop a National Strategy for Horticulture in England.

We appreciate the vital work of the horticulture industry with its potential for growth and recognise that a long-term vision would recognise the specific needs and huge diversity of the sector.

As part of our mission-driven government, and in partnership with the sector, we are considering a number of ways to achieve our ambitious, measurable and long-term goals for the sector.
