HC Deb 02 July 1924 vol 175 c1355W
Mr. BLUNDELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there is any proposal to hand over for research work the amount owing by the Government in respect of the cheese subsidy of 1919–20?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I have joined with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture in suggesting to the principal milk distributors that they should consider the advisability of handing over for purposes of dairy research work, at any rate, some portion of, any milk licence fees which are repaid to or retained by them, but I understand that, the replies at present received do not promise a satisfactory result.
