Former MP for Chichester
asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that under the Milk and Dairies Order the wearing of milking smocks and caps is compulsory if the milk is to be sold to the public, he will issue an instruction making it clear that these garments may be bought without coupons?
I beg to second the Motion, and I do so in the hope that the Bill will get a Second Reading, in order that the subject may be discussed further in the Committee stage. When I came to the House this morning I had it in my mind that there would be no great opposition to the theory of the Bill, although, as my hon. and gallant Friend says, there are certain gaps and weaknesses in the Bill.
