HC Deb 18 May 1939 vol 347 c1633W
Mr. de Rothschild

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that Mr. J. A. Thomas, of Wisbech, has, for a technical breach of contract, been deprived of his business and livelihood and been made bankrupt by the Milk Marketing Board, and, in view of the comments of the registrar of King's Lynn Bankruptcy Court on the actions of the board, he will refer this case to a committee of investigation under Section 9 of the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1931, for inquiry into the conduct of the board and its officers?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I can only refer to the committee of investigation a formal complaint made under Section 9 of the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1931. No such complaint has been submitted to me.
