§ 64. Mr. Goochasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will issue directions to enable those farm workers who were transferred from the arable counties to the grass counties in the early stages of the war to return to work in their home counties; and those who were directed to work in another part of their own county to return to their homes.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsFarm workers who took up employment with W.A.E.C.s away from their home districts during the war are covered by the Essential Work Order, and I have no authority to issue directions of the kind mentioned by my hon. Friend. A man subject to the provisions of the Order who desires to leave his employment has the right of appeal to the national service officer of the Ministry of Labour.
