HC Deb 09 July 1940 vol 362 c1112W
Major Carver

asked the Minister of Labour whether arrangements are being made for workers from Eire to come to this country for the harvest; and whether any guarantees are demanded as to the reliability of such men in these difficult days?

Sir J. Anderson

Yes, Sir. Arrangements have been made to enable workers to come to this country from Eire for agricultural work provided they can satisfy the United Kingdom permit officer in Dublin that a visa can properly be granted.
