HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c106W
122. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Labour what steps he proposes to take to remove the agricultural industry from the operation of the Control of Engagement Order.

Mr. Isaacs

Agricultural workers are already specially provided for under the Order. They are free to take any employment in agriculture. If they want to take work outside the industry they are subject, in general, to the same controls as any other workers.
