HC Deb 11 March 1918 vol 104 c68W
Mr. L. HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he is aware that dissatisfaction exists in Scotland with the progress which is being made with the formation of wages boards for the settlement of the minimum wage for farm servants; and when the Committee concerned with Caithness will be likely to commence its labours?

Mr. MUNRO

No, Sir; I am not aware of any such dissatisfaction. All possible progress has been made, committees having already been formed for all but the two Northern districts. The district in which Caithness is comprised is partly insular, and under existing conditions this fact has led to some delay, I am informed, however, that the arrangements are now nearly complete.
