HC Deb 25 May 1944 vol 400 cc929-30
48. Major John Morrison

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will allow Italian prisoners of war working on farms to remain on the same farms where desired as long as is possible, in order that the farmer should not have continually to train new men at a busy time when he is short of labour.

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

Yes, Sir. Prisoners billeted on farms, and, so far as possible, other prisoners working regularly for individual farmers, are not changed except where that cannot be avoided.
