HC Deb 29 October 1945 vol 415 c31
54. Mr. Dye

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider the desirability of including amongst the delegations to future conferences of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations practical British farmers and farm workers.

Mr. T. Williams

Two Advisers, representing respectively the organised farmers and farm workers of the United Kingdom, accompanied the United Kingdom Delegation to the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations which opened at Quebec on 16th October. I am glad to be able to inform the House that the Adviser representing farm workers is my hon. Friend the Member for Northern Norfolk (Mr. Gooch). Arrangements for future conferences will be considered when the time comes, in the light of their particular purpose and scope.
