HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c251W
95. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he is taking to ensure that an adequate labour force is available for lifting this year's potato crop; and if he is satisfied with the response to the call to the holiday camps for this harvest.

Mr. Collick

All practicable steps are being taken, on much the same lines as during the war, to ensure that an adequate supply of labour is available for lifting the potato crop. There has been a fairly good response to date to the appeal made by my Department for volunteers for harvest camps but more recruits for the later months would be welcome.
