Milk Marketing Board (Hansard, 8 March 1990)

HC Deb 08 March 1990 vol 168 cc843-4W 844W

§ 47. Mr. Brazier
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what marketing opportunities he envisages being created by reforming the Milk Marketing Board.

§ Mr. Curry
It is not for Government to identify marketing opportunities. But I am concerned that the milk marketing arrangements should encourage innovation and enable the industry to take advantage of changing market opportunities. I am encouraging the Milk Marketing Board and the Dairy Trade Federation to pursue their discussions with a view to devising arrangements suited to the 1990s.
