Milk Marketing Board

The Milk Marketing Board was a producer-run product marketing board, established by the Agricultural Marketing Act 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5. c. 31), to control milk production and distribution in the United Kingdom. It functioned as buyer of last resort in the milk market in Britain, thereby guaranteeing a minimum price for milk producers. It also participated in the development of milk products, introducing Lymeswold cheese. It was based at Thames Ditton in Surrey.
