HC Deb 28 November 1916 vol 88 c179W
Mr. LOYD

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether farmers have no remedy where, without any fault on their own part, a substitute provided in lieu of one of their regular farm hands taken for military service gives a week's notice and goes to another agricultural employer; and, if they have no hold over that substitute, have they the right to claim that another substitute be provided by the tribunal?

Mr. FORSTER

If a substitute leaves the employment of a farmer, through no fault of the farmer, every effort will be made by the military authorities to replace him as quickly as possible.
