HC Deb 30 July 1936 vol 315 cc1718-9
65. Mr. ASSHETON

asked the Minister of Health whether the special inquiries he promised to make in connection with accredited milk licences in certain counties have been completed; and whether he is now in a position to give any further information?

Sir K. WOOD

No, Sir. I am still in communication with the county councils of Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire and will arrange for one of my officers to visit Cheshire as soon as practicable.

Mr. ASSHETON

Does the right hon. Gentleman appreciate the serious injustice that results to farmers in those counties where the authorities are stricter than their neighbours in this respect?

Sir K. WOOD

I have received a deputation on this matter from the localities concerned.
