§ Major M'LEANasked the Minister of Food why it is necessary to fix the price of milk in milk-producing districts at 1s. a quart when 9d. gives a reasonable profit to the farmer?
Mr. ROBERTSThe hon. and gallant Member is no doubt aware that the milk prices fixed by the Ministry of Food are maximum and not fixed prices. In no district mainly supplied by producer-retailers has the maximum retail price of 1s. per quart been permitted.
