§ 39. Mr. LOUGHasked the Food Controller whether the same price is fixed for skimmed-milk cheese as for the finer qualities of full-cream cheese; and, if so, on what grounds this course has been adopted?
§ Major ASTORIn the case of cheese, as in that of other commodities, such as tea, it has been found necessary for purposes of administration to pool the supplies received, and to issue them to the consumer at a flat rate irrespective of variation in quality. I may, however, point out that, except in the case of Caerphilly cheese, the quantities of skimmed milk cheese issued to the public at the flat rate have been so small as to be negligible.
