HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 cc488-9W
Captain McEwen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the shortage of agricultural workers in Scotland, steps are being taken to arrange for prisoner-of-war labour to make up the deficiency?

Mr. Westwood

This problem is being tackled first by the organisation of substitute labour of all kinds. My right hon. Friend is also in consultation with his colleagues on the question of employing prisoners of war on agriculture and forestry work.
