§ 35. Mr. Ralph Howellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware that the average weekly earnings of agricultural workers are £12.55 below the average for all manufacturing industries; and if he will consider referring the wages of this group of workers to the Pay Board.
§ Mr. MoyleI have seen the earnings data from which the hon. Member is presumably quoting; as to the second part of the Question, any further references to the Pay Board would be inconsistent with the Government's intentions in this regard.
