HC Deb 01 May 1940 vol 360 cc721-2W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to make a statement regarding the training of boys in agriculture under schemes that have proved effective under the administration of the Young Men's Christian Association and similar organisations; whether he is aware that this matter has now been under consideration since November, 1939, and that various opportunities and offers to help these schemes are lapsing on account of the delay in coming to a definite decision in conjunction with the Treasury?

Captain McEwen

I have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture gave to the Question he put to him on 7th March. My right hon. Friend hopes to be in a position to make a statement on the subject in the near future.
