§ 29. Sir CHARLES CAYZERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what was the value of foreign condensed milk purchased for the Army units in Great Britain during 1932; and what steps are being taken to ensure that as far as possible future supplies of such condensed milk are manufactured in this country?
§ Mr. COOPERMilk for the home forces, is purchased regimentally from the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes out of a daily cash allowance. During 1932 the value of the foreign condensed milk purchased by that corporation to meet the occasional demands of customers was less than 2 per cent. of the whole. It is the general policy of the corporation to confine its purchases to products of the United Kingdom or other parts of the Empire wherever possible.
