§ Mr. Tom Coxasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the future of doorstep milk deliveries.
§ Mr. MacGregorThere is no doubt of the great value of the doorstep delivery as a service to the consumer and especially to the sick, the elderly, the housebound and those living in rural areas. I welcome the steps the industry is taking to persuade consumers of the benefits of having fresh pasteurised milk delivered to the doorstep. This is because, in the last resort, the future of this unique service can be assured only by the continued support of the consumer.
