HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 cc73-4W
Mr. Kenyon

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has yet received the final report of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on the remuneration of milk distributors; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Peart

My right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, the Secretary of State for Scotland and I have received the final report, and it has been published today. The Departments concerned will examine the Board's recommendations urgently, in consultation with the organisations affected.

The report recommends some improvement of the remuneration of Scottish distributors and also of the London trade, but does not imply that the milk trade as a whole is over or under-remunerated.
