HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 cc33-4W
97. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he is taking to safeguard supplies of milk in view of the strike of creamery workers.

Mr. Buchan

I understand that negotiations have taken place between the unions representing creamery workers in Scotland and their employers. Meanwhile liquid milk supplies are being maintained. The Scottish Milk Marketing Board is making every effort to ensure that supplies of milk will continue to reach the distributors and that there is the least possible interruption in the manufacture of milk products.
