§ 24 and 25. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Food (1) whether he is satisfied that the rationalisation of milk deliveries scheme is working satisfactorily; and whether it enables surplus milk to be put to good use;
(2) whether he will ascertain from Cardiff dairymen and milk distributors the quantity of milk wasted in Cardiff during the past year owing to the restrictions imposed by the rationalisation of milk deliveries scheme.
§ Mr. StracheyThe schemes for the rationalisation of retail deliveries of milk were introduced to secure economies in manpower, vehicles and petrol. I am satisfied that the schemes generally have worked satisfactorily and that they have not led to waste of milk in Cardiff or elsewhere.
