asked the Minister of Agriculture how many Class B releases have been submitted to the W.A.E.C. in the West Riding of Yorkshire; how many have been forwarded by W.A.E.C.s; and how many have been granted.

Mr. T. Williams

Two hundred and fifteen applications for Class B release had been received by the Yorkshire (West Riding) War Agricultural Executive Committee up to 22nd November. Fifty-six of these cases were supported by the Committee, and 15 were recommended by my Department to the appropriate authorities, who have approved release in 10 cases. Decisions in the remaining five cases are outstanding.
