§ Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the importance of a full response to the next month's recruiting drive for the W.L.A. and the possibility of attracting girls now returning home from the Services and factory work, he will modify the condition that all recruits must be mobile and agree to work away from their home districts.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI regret that I cannot see my way to adopting the hon. Member's suggestion. It is not practicable to waive the mobility condition for the existing members of the Women's238W Land Army, and it would not be equitable to maintain it for these members (most of whom are employed at a distance from their homes) while waiving it for new recruits.
