HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 cc251-2W
97. Wing-Commnander Robinson

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will arrange for the British Growers' Union, as representing horticultural interests, to have a seat on the Agricultural Wages Board; and what are the reasons that this body has not been represented on the Board in spite of repeated requests made on its behalf.

Mr. T. Williams

No, Sir. The employers' representatives on the Agricultural Wages Board are nominated by the National Farmers' Union which, I am satisfied, adequately covers the interests of all classes of employers whose employees are subject to the minimum rates of wages fixed by the Board.
