HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 cc1528-9W
Sir A. Baillie

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that the steps to be taken under the Agricultural Marketing Order No. 588 of 1939 relating to processed milk will ensure that the manufacturers of processed milk in this country will now be able to obtain prices that are economic in relation to the price which they have to pay to the Milk Marketing Board for the necessary supplies of milk; and what action it is proposed to take to ensure that the imports of processed milk, now to be subject to quota, will not be sold in this country at lower prices than home-produced commodities of the same type?

Mr. Cross

I have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Members for Stourbridge (Mr. R. Morgan) and the City of Chester (Sir C Cayzer) on 13th June.
