§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The total imports of fresh milk from. Europe during the first ten months of this year amounted to 8,065 cwts., of which 5,464 cwts. were imported from France and 2,601 cwts. from the Netherlands. In addition 9,177 cwts. of cream were imported from Europe, of which 6,726 cwts. were imported from France, 1,618 cwts. from the Netherlands, 798 cwts. from Norway, and 35 cwts. from various other 811 countries. These figures are, of course, exclusive of the imports of condensed milk, milk produce, and milk otherwise preserved.
