HC Deb 21 August 1940 vol 364 cc1308-9
67. Sir Ralph Glyn

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether ice cream is considered a manufactured milk product; and, if not, will he endeavour to arrange that, when the new Order prohibiting the sale of cream comes into force on 1st October, arrangements can be made to continue the supplies necessary for this trade in view of its food value for children?

Mr. Boothby

The Milk Marketing Board supplies milk for ice cream at the appropriate manufacturing price. It is not expected that the proposed Order to prohibit the sale of cream as from 1st October next will materially affect the ice cream trade.
