§ Mr. HENDERSON STEWARTasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the poinding and forcible sale of cows to meet levies due to the Milk Marketing Board is causing resentment in Scotland; that such action deprives producers of milk not only of their means of livelihood but also of their only possible means of paying their debts; and whether he will represent to the Milk Marketing Board that in their own best interests and in order to retain public support, which is vital to their continued existence, poinding and forcible sales of cows should cease forthwith and other more reasonabte steps be taken to obtain settlement of outstanding debts?
§ Sir G. COLLINSAs stated in reply to a question on 4th April by the hon. Member for Plaistow (Mr. Thorne), I have no responsibility for the actions of1160W the Scottish Milk Marketing Board in this matter. I have however communicated the terms of the question to the Board for their consideration
