HC Deb 10 April 1986 vol 95 c178W
31. Sir Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is yet in a position to say what plans the Government have for the future of the Milk Marketing Board; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

As indicated in my right hon. Friend's reply of 28 January to my hon. Friend the Member for Wantage (Mr. Jackson), we have received the management consultant's report on Dairy Crest, the Milk Marketing Board's commercial arm. We are still discussing the consultants' findings with interested parties and an announcement will be made in due course.
