HC Deb 27 May 1943 vol 389 c1731
48. Commander Locker-Lampson

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the rule whereby Italian prisoners must number 10 before they can be employed has operated to the disadvantage of the small farmer and smallholder; and whether he will allow single Italian prisoners to be employed as in the last war?

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

No, Sir. There is no such rule.
