HC Deb 03 May 1948 vol 450 cc902-3
57. Major Tufton Beamish

asked the Minister of Agricultural what arrangements have been made to enable employees of county agricultural executive committees to attend Territorial camps and courses this year; what has been the cause of the long delays that have occurred before the decision has been taken in this matter; and how this arrangement accords with the advice tendered by the National Joint Advisory Council, appointed by the Minister of labour, at their meeting on 23rd April.

Mr. T. Williams

The arrange vents are those applicable to all other civil servants and accord with the recommendations of the National Joint Advisory Council. I am sorry there has been some delay in notifying details of the arrangements to the staff, but there has been some delay in dealing with individual applications for camp leave, all of which have, so far as I know, been granted.
