A denial that Cabinet had taken any steps to appoint Government members of the Dairy Board was made by the Prime Minister (the Right Hon. G. W. Forbes) to-day, when his attention was drawn to the Press Association message from New Plymouth, suggesting that Mr T. A. Winks would be one of the Government nominees. Mr Forbes said that no names had been before Cabinet, and no appointments would be made until after the election of the producers’ representatives. —(P.A.)
