81. Mr. T. Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he has intervened in the matter of applications by the farm workers of Scotland for higher wages by writing officially to the National Farmers' Union.

Mr. J. Stuart

The hon. Member may have in mind the letters of 7th February and 21st June from my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture to the President of the National Farmers' Union of England and Wales which are printed in the OFFICIAL REPORT of 19th July and which expressed the Government's views on special reviews. I would refer him to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to Questions asked by the hon. Gentleman the Member for Faversham (Mr. P. Wells) and others on that date.
