HC Deb 12 March 1923 vol 161 c1027
44. Mr. SHEPPERSON

asked the Minister of Agriculture what measures Government propose to introduce for the relief of agriculture which will enable employers to pay higher wages; and when such measures will be introduced!?

Sir R. SANDERS

I would refer my hon. Friend to the announcement made in the Gracious Speech from the Throne. A Bill dealing with credit facilities is now being drafted and will be introduced as soon as possible.

Mr. HOPE SIMPSON

Has the right hon. Gentleman any idea how long it will take for these measures to filter clown to the agricultural labourer?
