HC Deb 06 August 1918 vol 109 c1130W
Mr. W. YOUNG

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the importance of the Scottish potato crop as a source of food supply for the coming year and of the fact that the harvesting of potatoes involves more strenuous and heavy labour than the harvesting of the grain crop, he can say that the pledge that no more men will be taken from agriculture for the Army till the end of the harvest embraces the safe ingathering of the Scottish potato crop?

Mr. MUNRO

Yes, Sir.
