Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware that certain villages in Radnorshire cannot be supplied with liquid milk; and whether he will arrange for his officers to visit these villages with a view 232W to securing facilities for a supply of liquid milk, bearing in mind that there is no lack of milk.
§ Mr. GodberMy right hon. Friend is aware that there are a few small villages in Radnorshire without a supply of liquid milk. He understands that in the case of two of these villages retailers are unwilling to deliver milk because of the relatively high transport costs for the small amount of milk required. My right hon. Friend is not responsible for the supply of milk to any particular consumers, but he would be prepared to have particular cases looked into if the hon. Member will let him have details of the villages which have asked for help.
