§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he took to assist the Milk Marketing Board to overcome the problems created by the recent freeze-up in the south-west of England; and to what extent any assistance offered was utilised.
§ Mr. SoamesMy officials in the south-west have been in constant touch with the regional officers of the Milk Marketing Board and they will continue to give them all the help they can.
I should like to pay tribute to the farmers and others through whose hard work and determination the milk has been getting through in spite of the appalling conditions.
