HC Deb 04 June 1942 vol 380 c831W
Mrs. Tate

asked the Minister of Agriculture what pay school children from 12 to 14 years of age, released to work on farms, are to receive per hour; and whether it is similar for boys and girls?

Mr. T. Williams

The children will receive the minimum rates of wages fixed by the Agricultural Wages Committees. These rates for children of 12 to 14 years are the same for both sexes and in most counties are 4d. or 5d. an hour.
