§ Mr. HINDSasked the Minister for Labour whether he has received a resolution from the Carmarthenshire Agricultural Executive Committee calling his attention to the shortage of labour in the county for the hay and corn harvests, whereby the successful gathering of the crops is gravely endangered; and whether he will represent to the military authorities the urgent importance of granting adequate periods of harvest furlough to agriculturists now with the Colours?
§ Sir R. HORNEMy Department has not received from the Carmarthenshire Agricultural Executive Committee the resolution which is referred to in the hon. Member's question. I understand that the suggestion made at the end of the question is engaging the attention of the Board of Agriculture.
