HC Deb 16 June 1942 vol 380 cc1387-8W
Mr. Denman

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether this year the wages earned by evacuees in agricultural work will be paid to the boys and girls or to the local authorities where they are billeted?

Mr. Hudson

The wages earned by children engaged on agricultural work are payable to the children themselves, unless other arrangements have been made on their behalf for the disposal of the wages by their parents or guardians. Any such arrangements, to be valid, must be to the benefit of the children.
