51. Miss Wardasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that there is no national minimum wage for permanent women workers in the agricultural industry, he will give an assurance that such workers will not be debarred from transferring to other occupations of national importance providing a better return for the work done?
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)There is no regulation to prevent women workers in agriculture from changing their occupation. If it should prove necessary at any time to reconsider that position, all the relevant factors will be taken into account.
