11. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the report on the survey of dairy research which the Empire Marketing Board recently commissioned Sir W. Dampier-Whetham to undertake has yet been published; and whether it is intended to take any action for the better co-ordination of dairy research in consequence of the report?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Lunn)

The report to which the hon. Member refers will be published shortly by the Empire Marketing Board, who are now considering what action can be taken to give effect to the recommendations in the report.

Brigadier-General BROWN

Can the hon. Gentleman say when a copy of that report will be made available?

Mr. LUNN

I would not like to say, until it has been considered by the Board.

Brigadier-General BROWN

Will the hon. Gentleman say whether the Ministry of Health will be made acquainted with the contents of the report?

Mr. LUNN

The Ministry of Health is in as good a position as anyone to consider its contents.
