Milk Marketing Board

Former Milk Marketing Board building in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

The Milk Marketing Board was a producer-run product marketing board,[1] established by the Agricultural Marketing Act 1933,[2] 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.
