HC Deb 18 March 1976 vol 907 cc585-6W
Miss Maynard

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether all workers at Kent Country Nurseries Limited at Challock, Ashford, Kent are covered by the Agricultural Wage Board Orders.

Mr. Strang

This was not the case when my wages inspector last visited the premises in September 1975. At that time some workers were employed solely in the mail order part of the business or in the shop, and others were employed partly in horticulture and partly on mail order or shop work. Only a few were full-time on work clearly within the scope of the Agricultural Wages Board Orders.
