HC Deb 25 November 1937 vol 329 c1409
78. Brigadier-General Clifton Brown

asked the Minister of Agriculture the total number of licences issued to producers of milk, and the number of these licences issued to owners of attested herds, tuberculin-tested herds, and accredited herds, respectively?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

As the reply contains a number of figures, I will, with my hon. and gallant Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

Number of producers registered under the Milk Marketing Scheme 146,898
Number of registered producers whose herds are attested 540
Number of registered producers who hold licences to sell tuberculin tested milk 1,927
Number of registered producers who hold licences to sell a credited milk 21,023

These figures relate to England and Wales only, and give the position as at 31st October, 1937.
