HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 c1394W
Major Carver

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange for soldiers encamped in Britain, with a great deal of spare time, to be allowed to offer their services to local farmers near their camping grounds for a few hours daily while the shortage of labour exists?

Mr. Stanley

I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture in regard to this matter.
