§ Mr. Sharpasked the Minister of Food what are the prospects of increasing the supplies of home-produced cheese; and how present production compares with that in 1938.
§ Mr. StracheyI am happy to say that as the result of the improvement in our liquid milk supplies we expect an increase of about 20 per cent. in the manufacture of home-produced cheese this year as compared with 1948. On this basis production will be approximately 70 per cent. of 1938 production.
