HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 c1715W
Mr. RILEY

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the fact that the agricultural tribunal has reported in favour of the setting up of wages boards to fix agricultural labourers' wages, he will use his good offices to try and induce both the farmers and labourers concerned in the dispute in Norfolk to agree to a truce on pre-dispute conditions pending the decision of Parliament with regard to setting up wages boards?

Sir R. SANDERS

Protracted negotiations have taken place in regard to the dispute in Norfolk, and I believe that the suggestion made by the hon. Member has been considered by both sides.
