HC Deb 11 October 1939 vol 352 c361W
Wing-Commander James

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that owing to war conditions the distribution of milk has broken down in some areas; that in some villages where cows are kept, milk is unobtainable even for children owing to the operations of the marketing scheme; and whether be will relax the scheme in areas where the relatively small needs to be met do not warrant either producers taking out licences, or distributors using petrol?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I am not aware that the distribution of milk has broken down in any area. Close co-operation exists between the Milk Marketing Board and the milk distributors to ensure that adequate supplies of milk are available in all areas. If my hon. and gallant Friend would let me know the areas to which his question relates, I should be pleased to have further inquiries made.
