HC Deb 27 March 1945 vol 409 cc1324-5W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the estimated cost of granting gratuities to members of the W.L.A. on the same scale as those to be given to women in the other Services.

Mr. Hudson

On the assumption that the Women's Land Army will continue at its present strength for a further two years, the estimated cost of cash gratuities on the same scale as those to be given to members of the Women's Auxiliary Services would be approximately £1,500,000.
