HC Deb 19 July 1944 vol 402 c199W
Commander Locker-Lampson

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether facilities will be given children and young people to take their bicycles with them for the holidays so that they may be actively helpful in harvest work, etc.

Mr. T. Williams

In present circumstances my right hon. Friend would not be justified in asking for special facilities of the kind suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend for persons not actually travelling to take up agricultural work. Children and adults proceeding to agricultural camps are encouraged to take their bicycles with them, and the freight charge is refunded or a free voucher is given.
