HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c37W
Mr. Beggs

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what increase per litre in the price paid by cheese manufacturers for liquid milk would be required to ensure maintenance of supply and to equal the present advantage to producers of converting surplus milk into butter or milk powder.

Mr. Butler

This is a commercial matter for negotiation between the Milk Marketing Board and the purchasers of milk in the joint committee.
