HC Deb 16 March 1948 vol 448 c227W
96. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will see to it that adequate labour is made available to farmers before the Government consider taking over land on the ground that it has not been properly cultivated.

Mr. G. Brown

The availability of labour will clearly be one of the relevant circumstances to be taken into consideration before deciding whether action under Part H of the Agriculture Act, 1947, is appropriate and necessary.
