84. Colonel GOODMAN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the cans, boxes, or other forms of containers for National Mark canned fruit and vegetables are manufactured in Great Britain out of British material?

wholesale price per gallon of liquid milk for each quarter since. the Milk Marketing Board came into existence, and the levy on producers aid producer-retailers for each quarter down to the latest date for which figures are available?

Mr. ELLIOT

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the prices of liquid milk show an upward tendency?

Mr. ELLIOT

The hon. Member had better await the statement.

Following is the statement:

Mr. ELLIOT

I understand that cans used for National Mark canned fruit and vegetables are manufactured in Great Britain from home-produced tinplate. I regret I an unable to supply information as to boxes and other forms of containers.
