§ Major Wiseasked the Minister of Agriculture how many German students are still in this country employed upon agricultural work; and if, in view of their unsatisfactory work this autumn and the fact that British agricultural volunteers had to remain in their camps instead of helping on the land in consequence of the presence of German students, he will ensure that next harvest they are not employed upon food production in this country.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsNo German students are now in this country for agricultural work. During their stay, work was available for both British and German volunteers except at one camp where there was 133W under-employment for a few days between the end of the corn harvest and the start of potato lifting, and there the available work was shared between the volunteers. Reports received by my Department show that in general the German students worked well and, in view of next year's prospective needs, I see no reason why the plans for supplementary help should exclude them.
