§ Mr. StrangTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will include equestrian employees under the Agricultural Wages Board order.
§ Mr. RyderThe content of the wages order is entirely a matter for the Agricultural Wages Board to decide within the constraints of the Agricultural Wages Act 1948. The order is restricted to workers employed in agriculture as defined under the Agricultural Wages Act 1948. I have no plans at present to amend the Act to include equestrian workers in its scope.
