While I have no power to compel a milk distributor to deliver to customers' homes, I am aware that doorstep delivery is a facility much valued by many customers, and I would deplore its cessation. I therefore include in the maximum retail price which I allow for milk an element in respect of that part of distributors' costs which can be attributed to delivery to customers' homes. In view of this, I see no reason why doorstep deliveries should not be continued.
