HC Deb 17 September 1940 vol 365 c130W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether it is now the intention of the Government to nationalise the milk industry?

Mr. Attlee

The milk industry, both in regard to production and distribution, operates in very close association with the Ministry of Food. No proposals for nationalisation of the industry are at present under consideration, but the Government naturally holds itself free to take any steps of control which may be necessary in the light of war-time conditions.
