§ Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Minister of Agriculture what proportion of foreign labour employed in agriculture is housed in hostels; and what proportion has got accommodation with individual farmers; and whether he will provide separate figures showing the position in Bedfordshire.
§ Mr. G. BrownNo precise figures are available, but it is estimated that both in Bedfordshire and in England and Wales as a whole, about 60 per cent. of the foreign workers are living in hostels, and about 40 per cent. are accommodated on farms or in lodgings.
