HC Deb 23 July 1923 vol 167 cc59-60W
Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider the issue of a statement making it clear that it is the intention of his Department that part of the benefit to be derived by farmers as the result of the Agricultural Rating Act should be shared by their labourers in the form of increased wages?

Sir R. SANDERS

I propose to deal with this matter in a circular letter to the conciliation committees.
