Mr. Vaneasked the Minister of Labour why the deferment from call-up granted to agricultural workers is not extended to men registered as pigmen or poultrymen; and whether he will arrange that all men so employed full time will be treated equally with other agricultural workers.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe call-up of pigmen and poultrymen is deferred whenever the district manpower board is satisfied that this is necessary in the circumstances of the individual case. I cannot agree that the automatic deferment of all such men would be justified.
