§ 47. Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can assure the House that sufficient labour is available to harvest the sugar-beet crop?
Mr. HudsonMuch depends on the weather, but I think the arrangements made this year should provide enough labour to assist farmers in harvesting the sugar-beet crop.
§ Colonel CarverCan my right hon. Friend say whether farmers are being encouraged to avail themselves of the labour of soldiers stationed in their district?
Mr. HudsonThey ought to exhaust all possible alternative forms of labour before they apply for military help.
