§ 8. Sir J. SPEARasked the President of the Board of Trade if contracts to supply milk extending to Lady Day next will be annulled on 1st January in cases where the price agreed on is above the Government maximum; and, if so, will he provide that a breach of contract under these circumstances shall not be liable to financial penalty?
§ Mr. PRETYMANShould no supplementary Order be made, the price which may be charged for milk delivered after 31st December next will be required to be within the limits laid down in the recent Price of Milk Order. The effect on contracts after the 1st January raises a legal question on which I cannot express an opinion.
