HC Deb 22 July 1936 vol 315 cc444-5
64. Mr. MATHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, and when, it is his intention to take action to give effect to the findings of the Committee on Farm Workers in Scotland?

Sir G. COLLINS

The Committee's report has been receiving my consideration, but I am not yet in a position to say what action the Government propose to take.

Mr. MATHERS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the desirability of handling this matter quickly?

Sir G. COLLINS

Oh, yes; as my hon. Friend is well aware, the report came into my hands last week.

Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to make a statement before the House rises?

Sir G. COLLINS

No, Sir.
