§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has power to alter, or add to, the composition of the Milk Marketing Board in view of the new powers which he has recently given to this body; and, if so, whether he will arrange to add to the Board at the earliest opportunity a sufficient number of representatives of consumers and distributors as to ensure that the Board is a properly balanced organisation for the purposes which it has now to fulfil?
Major Lloyd GeorgeHis Majesty's Government has power to alter the composition of the Milk Marketing Board, but, for the reason given in the reply to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Accrington (Major Procter), on 7th November, my noble Friend sees no occasion to do so in consequence of the powers recently conferred upon the Board.
