§ 66. Sir Charles Cayzerasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the Food Defence Committee has yet had under consideration any scheme for the distribution of cheese in the event of war; also if this body has received the assistance of any outside persons for the formulation of the scheme; whether any makers or manufacturers of English cheese have been called into such consultations; and whether arrangements can be made to invite the assistance of the National Association of Creamery Proprietors which represents approximately three-quarters of the manufacturers of all varieties of English cheese.
§ The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. W. S. Morrison)The answer to the first two parts of the question is in affirmative. With regard to the remainder, so soon as the plan is sufficiently advanced the trading interests concerned (including associations such as that mentioned) will, as in similar cases, be consulted.
