§ Mr. Lees-Jonesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why, in view of the announcement that one of the 1795W criteria he is adopting in dealing with licences to trade is that the applicant has normally been engaged in the past in handling the commodity, he is proposing to distribute through the wholesale grocers instead of the milk wholesalers American evaporated milk which is to be sold at the householder's door rather than over the grocer's counter?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave yesterday to my hon. Friends the Members for Moss Side (Mr. Rostron Duckworth) and Stourbridge (Mr. R. Morgan).
§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of the resentment of the wholesale milk industry that he is now revoking an undertaking to pass American evaporated milk through them to the retailers; and whether, as the bulk of this commodity will be sold by retail dairymen, he will investigate the grounds for the trade claim that it shall be distributed through milk wholesalers?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI should refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my reply yesterday to Questions on this matter by my hon. Friends the Members for Moss Side (Mr. Rostron Duckworth) and Stourbridge (Mr. R. Morgan).
