§ Mr. THOMAS GRIFFITHSasked the Food Controller what steps he proposes to take before fixing August, September, and winter milk prices in the South Wales area; and whether it is proposed to consult Welsh local food control committees with reference to available supplies for their areas in view of securing that useful local knowledge which is in the possession of such committees?
§ Mr. McCURDYMaximum retail milk prices for August and September in the area referred to have already been fixed by adding appropriate local margins for distribution to the producers' prices. Due regard was paid to the views of divisional commissioners and local food committees in fixing these margins. A similar procedure will be followed in the case of the prices for the winter months.
