HC Deb 14 June 1971 vol 819 cc29-30W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has now made of the repercussions on the pool price of milk resulting from the introduction of the Education (Milk) Bill.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

In determining the 1971–72 standard quantity for milk on which the guaranteed price is paid, we have already made allowance for the effect on liquid milk sales of changes in the school milk scheme. The Education (Milk) Bill will, therefore, have no significant effect on the net average price paid to milk producers in the United Kingdom in 1971–72.
