HC Deb 13 July 1944 vol 401 cc1899-900W
Lord Irwin

asked the Minister of Food whether, since the Milk Marketing Board has been given control of milk haulage from farms to points of first delivery and as it pays the Board to extend hauliers' rounds to capacity, he is satisfied that due consideration is paid to the effect of such control on the dairy industry, firstly through having plant and staff standing idle during a hiatus of intake and secondly through having to deal with untreated milk which has suffered through delay in reaching its first processing point.

Colonel Llewellin

I am satisfied that every effort is made in arranging for the haulage of milk to avoid the consequences to which my Noble Friend refers.
