HC Deb 10 April 1941 vol 370 c1709W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Health how far information reaching his Department indicates that the evacuation of the younger generation will lead to their permanent attachment to the land?

Mr. E. Brown

I believe that their experience of country life will attract many evacuated children and, while it is too early to form a definite estimate, there is evidence that some of them are obtaining agricultural work on leaving school.
