HC Deb 21 March 1973 vol 853 c122W
Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the Supplementary Estimate of £31 million for expenditure under the milk guarantee arrangements in 1972-73 implies an early increase in the retail price of milk.

Mr. Godber

In order to avoid the need for an early increase in the retail price of milk, the Government, have decided not to recover from the consumer the deficit in the Milk Fund at the end of 1972–73.
