§ 86. Mr. WELLSasked the Minister of Health if he will reconsider the charges at present made for licences, as set out in the Fourth Schedule of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1923, with a view to their reduction, and so assist those agriculturists desirous of providing the public with milk of grade A quality?
§ Sir K. WOODThe charges made by local authorities for Grade A milk licences are designed to cover the cost of supervision and bacteriological examination, and, on the information at present before him, my right hon. Friend does not consider that they could properly be reduced.
§ Mr. WELLSHas the hon. Gentleman received any representations from the local authorities on this matter?
§ Sir K. WOODI am not aware of any, but I will look into the matter.
