§ 30 and 48. Mr. Kinnockasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what progress he is making in his inquiry into the distribution costs of milk and the 20 per cent. additional charge made by retailers of cartoned milk which under the Milk (Great Britain) Order, 1971, should retail at 5½p a pint;
(2) if he will institute proceedings against milk retailers who impose an unreasonable charge under the Milk (Great Britain) Order, 1971, in excess of the 5½lp a pint at which ordinary pasteurised milk should be sold.
§ Mr. PriorDiscussions have been held with the National Grocers' Federation and the Dairy Trade Federation and I am considering their views. I would certainly institute proceedings if in my view an additional charge was manifestly unreasonable.
