§ 32. Miss PICTON - TURBERVILLasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can inform the House how much per cent. of the milk consumed in Great Britain is imported, showing condensed milk and imported dried milk separately?
§ Mr. PALING (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. On the basis of estimates for the years 1924 to 1927, contained in "The Agricultural Output and the Food Supplies of Great Britain," 1929, which are the latest complete figures available, it is calculated that after converting preserved milk into its estimated equivalent in liquid milk, approximately 8 per cent. of the milk consumed in Great Britain is imported, of which condensed milk accounts for rather over 7 per cent. and milk powder for rather under 1 per cent.
§ Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMSIs the amount increasing?
§ Mr. PALINGI could not say without notice.
