Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, and in what form, he is giving encouragement to the Voluntary Land Club movement, whereby men aged between 14 and 60 may give one day each per week voluntary labour upon a farm, for which services the farmer pays the club, the proceeds, after deduction of expenses, being remitted to charity?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI do appreciate the public spirit and initiative of the members of the Voluntary Land Club which has, I understand, been operating successfully in Altrincham and particulars of this club are being circulated to County War Agricultural Executive Committees who are being asked to consider the desirability of assisting in the formation of similar clubs in their counties where local circumstances permit.
