HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 cc245-6
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if his Department has any list of employers seeking agricultural labourers, to whom young men, aged about twenty years, who seek to get employed on the land can apply.

*SIR EDWARD STRACHEY

No, Sir.

MR. FELL

Is there no possibility of such a bureau being established by the Board of Agriculture?

*SIR EDWARD STRACHEY

It is very improbable. The difficulty is not for such men to get employment, but for farmers to get young men in country districts.
