HC Deb 12 March 1940 vol 358 cc1024-5W
Mr. Temple Morris

asked the Minister of Health whether there is any appeal from the decision of the Milk Marketing Board to withhold payments from a local authority, because it thinks the milk supplied under the cheap rate for schools, Circular 1840, is being wrongfully consumed?

Mr. Elliot

No provision is made in the scheme referred to in Circular 1840 for an appeal against a decision of the Milk Marketing Board to withhold payments, but I am assured by the Board that payments would not in any case be withheld unreasonably or without prior consultation between the Board and my Department.
