§ MR. FELL (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether he can see his way to organise an agricultural labour bureau under the Board of Agriculture, where labourers desirous of getting back to the land could be put into communication with employers seeking such persons, to their mutual advantage.
§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEY (Somersetshire, S.)My noble friend is of opinion that there are considerable objections to the establishment of a labour bureau by a Government Department and he cannot therefore 855 see his way to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion. Something might, however, he done through existing agencies, and I should be glad to confer personally with the hon. Member on the subject.
