Women's Land Army

HC Deb 17 November 1949 vol 469 cc220-1W

62. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Agriculture how much expenditure the closing down of the Women's Land Army will save.

Mr. T. Williams

The net provision on the Vote for my Department for the current year in respect of the Women's Land Army is £741,000. There will be some expenditure next year and on remnants in the succeeding year but the effect of closing down will ultimately be to save the whole of this cost.
