HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 cc2639-40W
Major RAYNER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has any statistics showing the numbers of agricultural workers who have left the Irish Free State to obtain work in Great Britain; whether such immigrants come to take up definite offers of work or whet her any of them use public assistance until they find it; and whether, in view of the unemployment among agricultural workers in this country, he will take steps to restrict the number of such immigrants into this country?

Mr. E. BROWN

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to a similar question by the hon. Member for Kensington, South (Sir W. Davison) on 23rd March.
