HC Deb 27 June 1918 vol 107 c1222
88. Colonel FABER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether any steps have been taken to secure roadmen for harvest work?

Sir RICHARD WINFREY

The Road Board have been approached for the assistance of roadmen on farms during harvest. The Ministry of National Service are also bringing to the notice of all local authorities the urgent need for men to assist with the ingathering of the crops, and requesting them to release as many of their employés as possible for harvest work.

Colonel FABER

Will the hon. Gentleman see that this question is hurried up, as time presses?

Sir R. WINFREY

I will.
