HC Deb 31 January 1939 vol 343 c18
34. Mr. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture when it is proposed to proceed with the Milk Industry Bill?

Mr. Ramsbotham

The Milk Industry Bill is being withdrawn, and new legislation will be introduced in due course, details of which it is not yet possible to announce.

Mr. Williams

Is the new Bill likely to contain anything relative to the re-organisation of distribution?

Mr. Ramsbotham

As I have already said, it is not yet possible to announce details of the Measure.

Mr. Mander

Do I understand that the Bill is being withdrawn without the House having any opportunity to consider it on Second Reading?
