MILK PRODUCTS
THE SITUATION IN BRITAIN.
PROBLEM OF BUTTER IMPORTS
United Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, July 25.
Questioned in the House of Commons about the Government’s policy for milk products, the Minister for Agriculture (Mr W. E. Elliot) replied that the Government would review the dairy produce situation fully before next March, but, as to the problem created by butter and cheese imports, the Government was of opinion that though conditions warrant continued assistance to the home industry, it could best be afforded by a system of duties or levies, though the possibility could not be excluded that regulation of the market might sometimes he necessary. The incidence of any such duty or levy would be adjusted to maintain the existing preferential margin for Empire supplies. The position of milk power and condensed x milk would receive separate consideration after a report by the Import Duties Advisory Committee.
