§ Mr. Turtonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether members of the W.L.A. under the age of 19 are permitted to be billeted off farms; and, if so, whether there is any supervision of their moral welfare.
Mr. HudsonAny employed member of the Women's Land Army who cannot be accommodated on the farm is housed either in a hostel or in a village billet. The warden of a Land Army hostel is generally responsible for the supervision and welfare of the hostel residents. Before a Land Army member is placed in a private billet, the suitability of the billeting arrangements is taken into consideration. Every member is visited at regular intervals by a local Land Army representative who is available to give help and advice in any personal difficulty.
