PINTA champion Lawrence Cunliffe is pressing for moves to halt declining deliveries.
The Leigh MP, speaking in the House of Commons, said: "It is high time the Government stopped damaging the milk delivery service. Many people, including the elderly and the ill, find it difficult to get to shops. They rely on doorstep deliveries.
"The doorstep service is in decline. Thousands of jobs have been lost.
"In 1994 the Tories deregulated the milk industry, raising the price of milk and adding to doorstep delivery service problems."
Mr Cunliffe criticised the introduction of a new £35 annual tax on electric milk floats highlighting Labour's opposition to milk industry deregulation and the milk float tax.
He said: "We want Common Agricultural Policy money used to support the doorstep delivery service. The European milk regime costs over £3,373 million a year.
"Some of it helps subsidise school milk, but most is spent wastefully.
"If we do not support doorstep deliveries now in a few years time we may find it has disappeared.
"Like the postal service and the railways doorstep deliveries should not be left to the free market."
