§ 46. Sir I. Alberyasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can give any figures showing what assistance farmers have recently received from the military, from schools or from any other source of auxiliary labour supply?
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)The detailed arrangements for the employment of soldiers, schoolchildren and other forms of auxiliary labour have been made locally, and precise figures are not available. A very considerable amount of assistance has been forthcoming from these sources, however, and I am grateful to the many thousands of workers who have come forward, and to the school authorities, Commanding Officers and others concerned for their ready co-operation.
