HC Deb 03 August 1939 vol 350 c2668W
Mr. Macquisten

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that for many years, particularly in Scotland, prior to the intervention of the Milk Marketing Board, all classes were accustomed to drinking large quantities of fresh skim milk, but that in recent years the board, although charging manufacturers for supplies, and permitting its sale for feeding-pigs, has restricted them from selling it for human consumption, with the result that large quantities of skim milk, imported in cans from Holland, have taken its place; and whether he will institute an inquiry into the present position?

Mr. Colville

The Milk Marketing Boards in Scotland have not imposed restrictions on the sale of skim milk for human consumption.
