HC Deb 04 April 1949 vol 463 c163W
63. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Agriculture what fresh instructions he has issued to county agricultural executive committees on the subject of tea-breaks for their workers following the introduction of the 47-hour week in the agricultural industry; and what were his previous instructions to them on this subject.

Mr. T. Williams

No instructions have been issued to the county agricultural executive committees on the subject of tea-breaks. Committees are expected to follow the prevailing practice of local farmers in such matters.
