asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will make any further statement as to the retail prices of milk in the Administrative County of Warwick and the prices paid to producers in the same area?

Mr. SMITH:

My right hon. Friend is taking steps to obtain additional information in regard to the prices paid to producers, but the inquiries will necessarily take time to complete. With regard to the collection of information as to retail prices, this is carried out by the Ministry of Labour, and I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour that the information at present obtained is regarded as sufficient for the purpose for which it is used, and that no further inquiries, therefore, appear to be necessary.

Could not the hon. Gentleman ask the milk combine for the prices they pay? Is not that all the information that is required?

Mr. SMITH:

I have no information that the milk combine has jurisdiction so far as Warwickshire is concerned.
