HC Deb 26 September 1939 vol 351 c1211
70. Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether any substantial difficulties have arisen in regard to milk supply since the declaration of war?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

No difficulties in regard to milk supplies have been brought to my notice.

Mr. Morgan

Does the Minister regard that as a tribute to the work of the Milk Marketing Board, and does it not give a pointer to the value of having left existing organisations, that were functioning well before he took charge, to do their job?

Mr. Morrison

I am very glad indeed to be able to join in that tribute to the Milk Marketing Board, particularly in regard to their work in ensuring adequate supplies of milk in reception areas.

Sir H. Williams

Were they any difficulties in 1914, when there was not a Milk Marketing Board?
