§ 50. Mr. Priceasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether it is his intention to put into force any or all of the recommendations of the Committee appointed to examine costs of milk distribution, and presided over by Lord Perry?
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Major Lloyd George)The recommendations made by the Committee in the report to which my hon. Friend refers are being carefully examined by my Noble Friend. I am not at present in a position to make any announcement of the policy of His Majesty's Government on the subject.
§ Mr. PriceWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman bear in mind the extreme importance at an early date of reducing the very heavy costs of distribution, which have been proved by the recent report of the Committee?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI assure the hon. Gentleman that no time will be lost. The report has been in our hands for only a comparatively few days, and consultations are taking place at this moment.
