HC Deb 16 May 1934 vol 289 cc1763-4
Mr. D. D. REID (by Private Notice)

asked the Home Secretary whether he can make any statement as to the possibility of similar measures being taken in Northern Ireland to those contemplated in the statement of milk policy made by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries on 22nd February?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It is the intention of the Government of Northern Ireland to take measures broadly similar to those contemplated in the statement of milk policy made by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries on 22nd February. It has now been decided that in the Bill to be introduced in

this House to give statutory sanction to the financial arrangements involved in these proposals, provision will be made for a sum not exceeding £200,000 this year to assist the milk industry in Northern Ireland.
