§ Mr. Chaterasked the Minister of Agriculture what is the increase in the wages of various grades of agricultural workers since 1938–39 to 1944.
Mr. HudsonSince April, 1938, increases up to approximately 30s. 6d. per week have been made in the legal mini-2132W informal discussions between the Ministry and members of the industry. These proposals have been referred for their views to the various national poultry organisations, the National Veterinary Medical Association, and the County Councils Association, who will, no doubt, in due course submit to me any observations they have to offer.
