First Milk delays payments by two weeks - MP points out direct debits don't wait two weeks!
First Milk will delay its members' next milk cheque by two weeks to help it balance its books. The payment due on 12 January will be pushed back to 26 January, and all subsequent ones will be made a fortnight later than planned. South Lakes MP Tim Farron has said 'when first milk defer their payments by two weeks they need to remember people cannot defer their direct debits - this threatens the future of many family farms'.
