50. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the national importance of an increased production of milk, he will make a pronouncement regarding his recommendations as to three-times milking?
Mr. HudsonI do not consider that any appreciable extension of three-times milking is practicable under existing conditions.
Mr. De la BèreIs my right hon. Friend aware that some additional effort will have to be made in order to make up the loss to small farmers which has been occasioned by the recent actions of the Ministry of Food? Is he aware that this is an important matter and is bound to affect production?
Mr. De la BèreWhy is my right hon. Friend trying to by-pass the matter? Is he not the trustee for the farmer and why does he not do his job?
