HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 cc204-5W
Major Procter

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the increased powers to be given to the Milk Marketing Board, full protection will be given to the businesses of the producer-retailers and small milk-selling firms in general?

Mr. Boothby

The additional powers which my Noble Friend proposes to confer upon the Milk Marketing Boards to enable them to implement his policy will be exercised subject to his direction where necessary. He will bear carefully in mind the special position of producer-retailers and small milk distributing businesses.
