HC Deb 14 July 1943 vol 391 c220W
Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport why in two cases of milk transport which have been laid before him the transport charge was.97d. per gallon for between 11 and 12 miles and 2½d. per gallon for about six miles, respectively, the volume of milk carried being much the same in each case?

Mr. Noel-Baker

The road haulage rates for the collection of milk from producers are arranged with the hauliers by the Milk Marketing Board, and I regret that I have no particulars of the rates in operation.
