§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he will consider offers from the agricultural labourers' unions to carry on themselves the work on the farms if the farmers go on strike over the recent Milk Order?
Sir A. BOSCAWENThe Board have no reason to believe that the situation suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend is likely to arise, since it is hoped that the difficulties which have arisen may be adjusted. If it did arise, it would be necessary for the Government to take whatever steps were considered necessary for the maintenance of the milk supply.
