HC Deb 04 January 1916 vol 77 c796
14. Captain CLIVE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if he will apply to the War Office to allow woodmen serving with the Forces at Home a month's furlough for work in the woods, in the same way as was done for men for harvest work?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD Of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Acland)

The whole question of the employment of soldiers on work in connection with agriculture is under reconsideration, and I will see that the case of skilled woodmen serving with the Forces is not overlooked, as it is of very great importance.
