HC Deb 10 November 1930 vol 244 c1315
57. Mr. GOULD

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that upon the cultivation and rent restriction subcommittee of the Wiltshire Agricultural Committee there is only one workers' representative; and, in view of the powers exercised by this committee, will lie take steps to appoint additional workers' representatives?

Dr. ADDISON

I understand that various matters affecting cultivation and applications for certificates under the Rent Restrictions Acts are dealt with by the General Purposes Sub-Committee of the Wiltshire Agricultural Committee. There are two workers' representatives on this sub-committee, one of whom was appointed by the Agricultural Committee and the other by my predecessor. At present there are no vacancies on the sub-committee, but it will be reconstituted next April, and steps will then be taken to increase the number of workers' representatives among the six members whom I am entitled to appoint to the sub-committee.
