HC Deb 18 March 1947 vol 435 c63W
Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Food what quantities of salvaged evaporated milk was sold each month for the past three months to the Ice Cream Alliance; what price is charged for a case of 48 tins; and how this compares with the wholesale price of normal evaporated milk.

Mr. Strachey

Sales to the Alliance were 48 tons 10 cwts. in December, 1946, 35 tons 19 cwts. in January, 1947, and 75 tons 18 cwts. in February, 1947. The price charged to the Alliance was 26s. 8d. per case ex-store. The wholesale price of normal evaporated milk is 29s. 9d. per case delivered.
