HC Deb 06 August 1919 vol 119 c385W
Mr. H. M'LAREN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the serious shortage of labour for the hay and corn harvest whereby the successful gathering of the crops is endangered, he will grant adequate periods of harvest furlough to agriculturists serving with the Colours in England?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. Friend to the oral reply to-day to a similar question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Brecon and Radnor.
