Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to implementing the recommendations of the report by the Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Select Committee The Future for Allotments (HC 560–I, Session 1997–98); and, in particular. the proposal that decisions over commercial use of allotment gardens relating to site shops and sales of surplus produce should be made on a site-by-site basis.
The report referred to was produced under a previous government. Decisions to permit the limited sale of surplus produce are the responsibility of local authorities who set their own rules on the use of sites.
