HC Deb 23 July 1923 vol 167 c44W
Mr. D. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, for the purposes of the harvest, it will be possible temporarily to absorb any of the existing unemployment in the towns; and, if so, whether arrangements are being made for this to be carried out?

Sir R. SANDERS

So far as I am aware, no shortage is anticipated in the supplies of labour for this year's harvest, and there consequently appears to be no occasion for the consideration of any such arrangements as my hon. Friend suggests.
