§ Mr. DUNCANasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the workers' side of the Hertfordshire Agricultural Wages Committee gave Notice of Motion on 22nd December, 1924, for a special rate of wages to be fixed for market gardeners and glasshouse workers; that this matter has been postponed 876W from time to time and that nothing has yet been fixed; that a special meeting of this Committee was fixed for Saturday last to settle the matter and that no appointed member turned up; and whether he will make inquiry into this matter with a view to ending the delay which has taken place in the settlement of this matter?
Mr. WOODI am fully aware of the efforts which are being made to fix special rates of wages for market gardeners and glasshouse workers in Hertfordshire and I understand that the Committee is to meet to-day to endeavour to arrive at a settlement.
