§ 66. Mr. Gallacherasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he intends to appeal for the organising of volunteer harvest camps this year; and what steps he has taken to advise his Regional Officers to accept offers to form such camps by organised bodies.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI am arranging for a considerable expansion of the Volunteer Agricultural Camps scheme this year, and I hope to see the camps well filled, especially over the period of the potato harvest. I am also hoping to see an increased number of camps run by schools and youth organisations. County agricultural executive committees will be glad to give advice and assistance, in the light 149W of the labour position in the area, to any organisation wishing to set up its own camp.
