Mrs. Tate

asked the Minister of Agriculture, from and until which date schoolchildren are to be released for work on farms; and what rate of pay it is proposed shall be given them?

Mr. Hudson

The periods when schoolchildren are released for work on farms will be fixed locally according to local needs. The children will be paid not less that the appropriate minimum wage as fixed by the local agricultural wages committee.
