§ Mr. D. FOOTasked the Minister of Agriculture in view of the proposal to guarantee a minimum price of 5d. per gallon in the summer for milk manufactured in factories and manufactured into cheese on farms, whether he will take steps for provision to be made by the Milk Marketing Board for distributors purchasing less than 500 gallons per day to be entitled to the appropriate rebate on milk manufactured; and whether, in
1046Wand from British India, as registered during the months of January and February, 1933 and 1934.
any programme submitted for the supply of milk to schools at reduced rates, he will cause provision to be made by which every retailer will be entitled to equal consideration in any rebate which the board may make on such supplies?
§ Mr. ELLIOTWith regard to the first part of the question, the financial position of the manufacturer is not affected by the guaranteed minimum price for manufacturing milk. With regard to the second part of the question, I will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind.
