§ Captain Sir B. STANIERasked the Food Controller if he has received a resolution from the Midland Farmers' Association that they consider the existing system of the control of milk gives a monopoly to the wholesalers, to the prejudice of the producer in certain districts, and that a free market should be given; whether the Milk Control is taking this into consideration; and, if so, could the future policy of the Ministry be defined?
Mr. ROBERTSThe resolution referred to by the hon. and gallant Member has been received, and the question raised therein will be considered in connection with the fixing of winter prices for milk. I am not able to make an announcement on the subject at present, but I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that the position of producers will be sympathetically considered.
