Milk Prices at Llanelly. ♦ BOROUGH MEMBER'S QUESTIONS. t In the House of Commons on W ednes- day Mr lewelyn W illiams asked the Par- liamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether a deputation of milk- vendors waited on the Llanelly Food Con- trol Committee, and stated that the price of milk had been arranged with the Divisional Food Commissioner at Cardiff, and the Divisional Food Commissioner fixed the price at 7d. per quart for Nov- ember, and 7,d. per quart to the end of March, without consultation with the Food Control Committee, and solely on the ex parte statements of milkvendors; whether the Food Control Committee had protested against the interference of the Commissioner, and complained that in their efforts to secure fair prices for the consumer they were being constantly thwarted; and whether the Food Con- troller will see to keep within bounds the arbitrariness of the Commissioner, who was depriving the local committee of all responsibility. Mr. Clynes said that the answer to the first part of the question was in the affirmative. Representations were made to the Food Commissioner to the effect that the supply of milk at the price pro- posed must involve dairymen in a loss, and the Fold Commissioner, in order to prevent the diversion of supplies from Llanelly to outside areas, suggested to the control committee the desirability of amending their proposed prices in the manner stated by the hon. member. It was not correct to say that the Food Commissioner fixed prices, nor did it ap- pear that the Food Commissioner in any way exceeded his duty in making a re- commendation to the committee.
