§ Mr. LOUGHasked the Food Controller, with regard to the price to be paid to the producer for milk, whether the rate applies to all parts of the United Kingdom; if it is a maximum rate and obligatory on producers; and whether any penalty is incurred by selling at a lower rate?
§ Major ASTORThe price fixed for wholesale sales of milk by the producer under the terms of the Milk (Winter Prices) Order, 1918, applies to all parts of Great Britain. It is a maximum price, but producers are free to sell milk at a lower rate. The last part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
