HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c85W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many land girls have been engaged by the Radnor W.A.E.C.; how many have been demobilised; how many have left; how many dismissed; and how many W.L.A. hostels have been closed down during the last four months.

Mr. T. Williams

Eighty-eight members of the Women's Land Army were employed by the Radnor War Agricultural Executive Committee in December, 1945, when the official release scheme started. Of that number 12 have since been granted willing release, 11 have left, and one was dismissed. In addition, 10 land girls have been transferred to other War Agricultural Executive Committees and two have taken employment with farmers. During the last four months one Women's Land Army hostel has been closed down by the committee after consultation with the county branch of the Land Army.
