HC Deb 30 November 1950 vol 481 cc1292-3
11. Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Education whether, in view of the forthcoming discontinuation of school harvest camp schemes after 1951, he will consult with the National Farmers' Union to see in what ways pupils can be kept in contact with agricultural life and the educational benefit of those schemes preserved.

Mr. Tomlinson

I should be happy to be associated with the discussion of this question which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture proposes to hold with the National Farmers' Union.

Mr. Hollis

The Minister says that he will be happy to be associated with the discussion. Does he mean that he will be associated with it? Does he expect to be happy or not?

Mr. Tomlinson

Irrespective of the happiness, I shall be glad to be associated with it.

Mr. Hollis

Will the right hon. Gentleman be associated with it?

Mr. Tomlinson

Yes. That was my intention in expressing happiness.
