HC Deb 24 October 1916 vol 86 cc995-6W
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the dairy farmers in the West of Scotland are making an organised refusal to sell milk at less than 1s. 4d. per gallon, equivalent to 1. 6d. per gallon delivered in Glasgow; and whether he proposes to take any local action in respect of this?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

My attention had not previously been called to these figures, and I should be glad if my hon. Friend would send me further particulars show- ing what services are covered by the delivery price of 1s. 6d., and what are the other conditions of sale.
