EDM number 299 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 19/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Food and Leisure.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
