HC Deb 23 October 1940 vol 365 c1049W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the fact that the Milk Marketing Board is composed of only 17 members, of whom 15 are elected by producers, he will state what steps are to be taken by him to ensure proper regard for the interests of consumers and distributors of milk in connection with the new powers which he has recently conferred upon that Board?

Major Lloyd George

Proper regard for the interests of consumers and distributors of milk in connection with the powers which have recently been conferred upon the Milk Marketing Board will be ensured by reason of the fact that the powers will be exercised under the general supervision of my Noble Friend, and subject to his specific directions where necessary.
