asked the Minister of Agriculture whether conscientious objectors, with unemployed urban labourers, plus a small addition of skilled agricultural workers, will be formed by county committees into travelling groups to make good the scarcity of farm labour in the Fens, and Bedford and Cambridge areas?

I have recently written to County War Agricultural Executive Committees authorising them to organise mobile gangs of workers to assist farmers in their areas, and including suggestions on the lines indicated in the Question.
