40. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps the Government are taking to safeguard the production of home-grown food, in view of the retirement of agricultural labourers to other more attractive industries?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI would refer to the reply given to my hon. Friend on 28th October last.
Mr. De la BèreIs not a bold and farsighted scheme to deal with skilled agricultural labour essential, and if that scheme is not forthcoming will there not be a widespread lack of agricultural skilled labour throughout the country?
§ Mr. MorrisonI should be glad to consider any scheme which my hon. Friend has in mind.
§ Mr. MorrisonI should be delighted to receive any assistance that my hon. Friend can give me.
