§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the increasing quantity of milk that now has to go into manufacture, if he will consider requiring that only tuberculin tested milk is sent into the liquid market.
Mr. AmoryIt is my hope that all our milk will eventually be tuberculin-tested, but there is not yet sufficient milk of this quality to meet the needs of the liquid market.
§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, as there is now an increasing quantity of milk being produced, he will consider whether it is undesirable to have a scaling down of the differential between summer and winter prices in the southeast region.
Mr. AmoryThis is a question for the Milk Marketing Board, which is responsible for fixing the monthly producer prices.
§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the increasing quantity of milk having to go to manufacture, if he will request the Milk Marketing Board to revert to 53W the original scheme whereby milk is paid on a regional basis.
Mr. AmoryThe Milk Marketing Board for England and Wales continues to prescribe the price to producers on a regional basis.
