§ 45. Mr. Doddsasked the hon. Member for Woolwich, West, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, if, on the grounds of economy, the Refreshment Department will use only skimmed milk powder instead of fresh milk in bulk cooking and for beverages.
§ Mr. StewardThe Refreshment Department will try out the hon. Member's suggestion as soon as supplies of dried milk are freely available. At the present time milk powder seems to be in very short supply.
§ Mr. DoddsDoes not the hon. Gentleman appreciate that the Ministry of Health are endeavouring to get Dartford Hospital to use skimmed milk powder in milk puddings, and does he not think, if there is a scarcity, that at least it would be better to allow the hospitals to use liquid milk for their patients and to ask Members of Parliament—
§ Mr. SpeakerI do not think the Chairman of the Kitchen Committee is responsible for hospitals.
