49. Mr. PRICEasked the Minister of Agriculture if he has any information as to the number of applications received by agricultural wages committees for permits to receive less than the statutory wages from juniors engaged in the industry and the number of applications granted?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Sir John Gilmour)I have no information as to the number of applications for such permits made in respect of junior workers only, but on 30th September, 1931, there were 263 permits in force for workers under 18 years of age and 511 for workers of 18 and under 21 years.
