HC Deb 05 December 1935 vol 307 cc307-8W
Captain SHAW

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can give any indication of the date upon which the report of the committee of inquiry into the milk marketing schemes may be expected; and if, pending the publication of the report, he can give an assurance that the concessions made last year to producers in the Scottish milk marketing area will be continued?

Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the concessions made last winter to producers of milk for liquid consumption in the area of the Scottish milk marketing scheme will be continued until the scheme is amended?

Sir G. COLLINS

The report of the Reorganisation Commission for Milk for Great Britain is not expected to be available for some months yet. The Committee of Investigation for Scotland are at present at my direction considering the question of the continuance of the adjustments made in the Scottish Milk Marketing Scheme for the year 1935. I hope to receive the Committee's report within a few days.
