HC Deb 02 April 1941 vol 370 c1004
54. Mr. Price

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what action he proposes to take on the Perry report on the Distribution of Milk?

Major Lloyd George

Owing to the altered conditions obtaining since the date of the report of the Committee over which Lord Perry presided. His Majesty's Government have decided that it is not possible for them to adopt the recommendations made.

Mr. Price

Is the Minister satisfied with the cost of the distribution of milk?

Major Lloyd George

No, I cannot say that, but the principal recommendation of the Perry Committee was in reference to that matter. My hon. Friend will appreciate that since that time very great difficulties have been encountered by the distributors of milk. They have overcome them with very great skill, but those conditions did not obtain when the report was made.
