§ 66. Captain BARNETTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what proportion of the retail milk trade of London is controlled by United Dairies, Limited; and what steps, if any, are being taken to protect the interests of retailers outside the combine?
§ Mr. PARKERI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the question is not available. With regard to the second part, I have already stated that the Ministry of Food has under consideration the question of the control of the wholesale distribution of milk, but the precise steps necessary for this purpose and their effect upon the position of the individual retailer have not yet been determined.
