§ Mr. HAYDAYasked the Minister of Labour whether large numbers of German prisoners are still being employed on farms; whether the presence of these prisoners is giving rise to friction with our own workmen; and whether steps can be taken to remove these prisoners without delay with a view of providing employment for a large number of demobilised men now out of work?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am aware that a number of prisoners of war are at present employed on farms. It is a condition of their employment that no suitable British labour shall be available in the locality, and machinery has been provided to 1869W secure that this condition is observed. I shall be glad to inquire into any case where friction with British labour is said to exist, if the hon. Member will give me the facts.
