§ 6. Colonel CLIFTON BROWNasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the encroachment of bracken on moorland can be arrested by cutting at this time of year; if he will en courage owners and tenants of moors to employ young men from mining villages for this purpose; and if he is aware that all that is required to enable these young men to undertake this work is the pro vision of a cheap camping outfit, which, if allowed to remain after bracken cut ting is finished, might enable them to secure further employment in haymaking and as grouse drivers and beaters?
Mr. HUDSONI shall be happy to arrange, through the Employment Exchange service, for offers of work of the kind referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend to be put before suitable unemployed men in the depressed mining areas.
