HC Deb 17 October 1946 vol 427 c240W
58. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Labour why the farmer, A. A. Evans, Roundhill Farm, Tusmore, Bicester, has been called up for the Army by his Department, just before harvest, although his Department had spent three months discussing with the W.A.E.C. whether to call him up or not; and why he acted against the advice of the local W.A.E.C.

Mr. Isaacs

I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member on 15th July except that the hon. Member is under a misapprehension in thinking that this case was discussed for three months with the war agricultural executive committee, and that the action taken was against their advice.
