Milk Marketing Board (Hansard, 15 March 1950)

HC Deb 15 March 1950 vol 472 c1081 1081

§ 44. Mr. York
asked the Minister of Food whether he will now hand back to the Milk Marketing Board the powers which were taken from it in 1939.

§ Mr. Webb
No, Sir.

§ Mr. York
While appreciating that the Minister has not yet had much time to consider the matter, may I ask him to look at the Report of the Select Committee on Estimates which deals with his own Department, and to consider whether the step suggested in the Question would not result in considerable economy?

§ Mr. Webb
That Report is one of a number of reports relating to this matter, into which I shall have to look in due course.
