Major Cazaletasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, whether the new orders affecting milk policy and giving uncontrolled powers to the Milk Marketing Board will in any way affect the activities of established firms engaged in the manufacture of various milk products; and what steps he is taking to ensure that the latter, in any event, have a right of appeal against what they may consider unfair treatment?
§ Mr. BoothbyThe powers which my noble Friend has recently conferred upon the Milk Marketing Board are not uncontrolled and will be exercised under his general supervision and subject to his direction where necessary. The Boards are responsible to my noble Friend for their use of these powers.
