HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1134W
Mr. BLINDELL

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of unemployed agricultural workers at the latest available date for England and Wales and for the Holland-with-Boston Division?

Mr. N. BUXTON

Statistics are not available as to the numbers of agricultural workers out of employment. The reports received, however, from the Ministry's local officers indicate that there was not any considerable amount of unemployment during June among agricultural workers in England and Wales, but the reports make special mention of some unemployment having occurred during the month among both regular and casual farm workers in the Holland Division of Lincoln.
