HC Deb 07 August 1919 vol 119 c598W
Sir M. CONWAY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary of the Board of Agriculture whether agricultural male workers obtain the minimum adult rate of wages in Norfolk and Kent at the age of eighteen and in Essex, Survey, and Sussex at the age of twenty-one; and whether a like variety obtains in other counties?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

The difference mentioned by my hon. Friend existed up to the coming into operation of the Order of the 16th May last, which adopted a uniform system of age limits.
