[ FOR WOMEN IN LAND ARMY. Land women are not to bo subjected to a special curfew stated the Minister of Agriculture (Sir Reginald Dorman- | Smith) in the House of Commons. | Colonel Arthur Evans (Con.. Cardiff ; S.) drew the Minister's attention to a report that at a meeting of Glamorgan Agricultural Committee it had been suggested that girls of the Women's Land Army should be compelled by regulation to be in their billots by 9 p.m. because of their association-with men in uniform. Sii' Reginald replied that, while members of the Women's Land Army who were placed in official training centres would bo expected to conform to such regulations as were considered necessary by the authorities, no general regulations such as were suggested in the question wore contemplated. Colonel Evans asked the Minister th see that "those pin-pricks of busybodies who are anxious to set themselves up as dictators of the people’s morals, basing their position purely on envy, rumour and spite." were discontinued.
