In accordance with the statutory regulations governing the constitution of district wages committees, the appointed members of the Yorkshire District Wages Committee were appointed by the President of the Board of Agriculture and the representative members by the Agricultural Wages Board. I may add that, before appointing representative members, the wages board invited suggestions from local farmers' and workers' organisations, and gave very careful consideration to all the names so suggested.

No recommendation has so far been made by the Yorkshire District Wages Committee with regard to the wages board's proposal to increase the present minimum rates of wages, but the views of the two sections of representative members of the committee on the subject have been communicated to the wages board.
