asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state for each of the years 1938 and 1939 the price of milk (a) received by milk producers in the Dublin production area; (b) the price paid by Dublin milk consumers for milk delivered at their houses; and (c) the price paid by Dublin milk consumers for milk collected by them at distributing centres.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Price of Milk.
A table giving the information asked for by the Deputy as regards prices payable to milk producers will be circulated with the Official Report. As regards (b) and (c) in the question, the prices payable by consumers are not controlled by my Department, and I have, therefore, no official information about them.
Are the prices paid by the milk consumers controlled by anybody?
I presume they are controlled by the Prices Commission.
The table referred to in the reply is as follows:—
The minimum prices prescribed for milk sold by producers in the Dublin production area during the years 1938 and 1939 are as follows:—
A.—FOR MILK SOLD TO WHOLESALERS.
