HC Deb 25 June 1951 vol 489 cc113-4W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has considered a memorandum which has been sent to him from the Chairman of the Milk Marketing Board proposing the reinstatement of the pre-war marketing powers of the Board; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. T. Williams

I have received this memorandum, and it is being carefully considered. As, however, its proposals affect many aspects of the Government's milk policy, it is unlikely that an early decision can be taken on the issues involved.
