§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the fact that 4,186 factories, employing 1,314,377 persons, are now operating schemes under which the workers have a regular morning drink of milk; and whether he is taking any steps to encourage the extension of schemes of this kind?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI am aware of the gratifying success that has attended the schemes for promoting the consumption of milk by workers employed in industry. The question of extending these schemes is primarily one for the National Milk Publicity Council, but Exchequer grants under the Milk Acts are made through the Milk Marketing Board towards the cost of milk publicity which is directed, in part, to furthering the schemes referred to.
