§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the shortage of milk, greater facilities will be offered to 2255W consumers to obtain supplies of treated milk.
§ Colonel LlewellinI assume my hon. and gallant Friend refers to processed milk. The present winter allowance of liquid milk is being supplemented by household milk powder which is distributed to the public at the rate of one half pound tin per head every eight weeks, or the equivalent of half a pint of liquid milk per week. In addition, rather more condensed milk is available on points than in the summer, but the large quantities of processed milk required by the Services represent the first call on the total supplies available.
