§ 53. Dr. Littleasked the Minister of Food whether, as there is sufficient milk in Northern Ireland to provide a fair supply of ice-cream, he will give permission under fixed regulations for the 172 manufacture of ice-cream in Northern Ireland in the interests alike of manufacturers and consumers.
§ Colonel LlewellinI regret that I cannot adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion at present. All milk in Northern Ireland is required for more essential foodstuffs than ice-cream.
§ Dr. LittleIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that owing to the stoppage of the manufacture of ice-cream and the shortage of soft drinks young people are being driven wholesale into places where strong drink is sold, and I must protest against it?
