HC Deb 30 May 1940 vol 361 c681W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of public schools which have offered to provide schoolboy labour on farms during the months of August and September; whether similar arrangements are being made by county and borough education committees; and whether offers of schoolboy labour for limited periods during afternoons are being accepted by farmers?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

As arrangements are still being actively worked out, I am unable to give any precise figures.
