HC Deb 15 May 1978 vol 950 c56W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will estimate the approximate proportion of the 32 million pints of milk sold daily which could not be delivered and sold to households on a commercial basis at current prices without the operation of the milk marketing boards.

Mr. John Silkin

Now that I have secured arrangements which fully and permanently safeguard the future of the boards, this question does not arise.
