HC Deb 13 March 1939 vol 345 c45W
Major Procter

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the minimum price of buttermilk milk powder manufactured by the roller process was fixed at 24s. per cwt. in July, 1937, increased to 25s. in April, 1938, reduced to 16s. in August, 1938, increased to 24s. in October of that year, and reduced to 18s. this January; and whether he will take steps to accelerate the introduction of some system for the better stabilisation of prices for this and other milk products?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I am aware of the fluctuations in the price of buttermilk powder, to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer him to the reply which I gave to him on 9th March.
