HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 cc1109-10
Lieut.-Colonel DALRYMPLE WHITE (by Private Notice)

asked the Food Controller whether he is aware of the serious position that has arisen in the Preston and Southport areas owing to the non-supply of milk; also to his refusal to include the Ribblesdale Valley area in the advance of 2d. per gallon granted to neighbouring districts, and what steps he has taken to deal with the deadlock?

The MINISTER of FOOD (Mr. Roberts)

I have not received notice of the question.

Lieutenant-Colonel WHITE

I personally handed this, addressed to the right hon. Gentleman, and marked "Urgent," to a messenger at the door of this House at 6.0 p.m. yesterday.

Mr. ROBERTS

I will at once inquire into the matter.
