The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, as the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board was established as a result of the Agricultural Wages (Scotland) Act 1949 which consolidated the acts of 1937 and 1940, whether it believes that in this context it is essential that the board retains its powers to make orders fixing minimum wage rates, holiday entitlement and other conditions of service for agricultural workers.

Answered by Richard Lochhead on 10 Mar 2008 · 11 days after it was lodged, on time
