HC Deb 20 September 1939 vol 351 c931
27. Mr. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to make payments for remunerative time lost to workers' representatives serving on agricultural war executive meetings and subcommittees thereof?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

Yes, Sir. It is proposed to make an allowance in respect of loss of wages sustained by representatives of agricultural workers through attendance at meetings of county war agricultural executive committees and their sub-committees.

Mr. Williams

Has the agricultural workers' union been informed of this decision?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I could not answer that question without notice.
