§ Major ELLIOTI anticipate that it will be necessary to hold a public inquiry in connection with the scheme referred to, but I am not yet in a position to inform my hon. and gallant Friend of the date. No other scheme for the marketing of milk has been submitted to me, but two schemes, for regulating the marketing of milk in defined areas in Scotland, have been submitted to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
