§ 2. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what development has taken place, or is contemplated, in exploiting the advantages 564 of frozen milk in respect of transportation and its use in places where fresh milk in not readily available.
Mr. AmoryI understand that the National Research Development Corporation, which is responsible for the commercial exploitation of this process, has licensed two firms to produce frozen milk, Small quantities are being sold to some shipping lines.
§ Mr. DoddsWill the right hon. Gentleman bring to the attention of the Minister of Education the fact that frozen milk will be much more desirable than the milk tablets which are being given to children in districts where it is difficult to transport liquid milk?
Mr. AmoryI will bear the hon. Gentleman's suggestion in mind. He will know that at present the freezing of milk is quite a costly process and involves special facilities for storage which are not generally available. It has a limited application at present.
