HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 cc1074-5W
Colonel Baldwin-Webb

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the present staff of the National Milk Publicity Council; what is its annual cost; what are the individual salaries received by the director, assistant director, the chief industrial organiser, and the area organisers, respectively; and whether, in view of the present conditions, arrangements will be made to close down the work of this council in view of its superfluity?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

The National Milk Publicity Council is a voluntary body for which my Department has no responsibility and which receives no financial assistance from Government funds. In these circumstances, perhaps my hon. Friend could apply direct to the Council for the detailed information he requires. I may add that I understand that the Council has already taken steps to curtail appreciably its activities during the war.
