HC Deb 26 January 1944 vol 396 cc695-6W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in estimating the effect of the rise in wages upon farmers' costs, he took into account the fact that such a rise affects the wage structure throughout the rural districts and so tends to increase the costs of trades ancillary to agriculture, such as blacksmiths and wheelwrights, entailing a corresponding addition to their charges for services to agriculture.

Mr. A. Henderson

Yes, Sir. As from 1st January, troops overseas will be allowed five instead of four air letters in every four-week period.
