HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 c790
51. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the necessity to produce more food in this country, he will consider offering more attractive terms to those members of the W.L.A. who may be willing to remain in Government service.

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Thomas Williams)

I would refer the hon. and gallant 'Member to the reply I gave on nth February to my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesend (Mr. Garry Allighan), of which I am sending him a copy.

Sir T. Moore

How can the Government expect more home production of food if they continue to treat this splendid body of young women so meanly?

Mr. Williams

If the hon. and gallant Gentleman will read the reply to which I referred, he will find that there are appreciable advantages for members of the Women's Land Army over all others.
