HC Deb 19 June 1934 vol 291 c190
30. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been drawn to the statement of the chairman of the Milk Board at the annual general meeting to the effect that the Ottawa Agreement prevents action of a satisfactory character to regulate imports; and what steps the Government propose to take in the matter?

Mr. ELLIOT

I was aware of the statement referred to by my hon. Friend. Government proposals for meeting the present situation are embodied in the Milk Bill now before the House.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Does my right hon. Friend think it desirable that the chairman of the Milk Board should make an implied attack on the Dominions when the real trouble comes from foreign imports?

Mr. ELLIOT

I accept no responsibility for his statements any more than I accept responsibility for statements made by the hon. Member.
