HC Deb 09 July 1982 vol 27 c213W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the figures showing the total milk produced in Wales at the most recent available date compared with the volume of milk consumed in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The provisional figure for total milk sales off farms in Wales in 1981 is 1,567.1 million litres.

While information on the total consumption of milk in Wales is not available, estimates derived from the national food survey indicate that consumption of liquid milk by households in Wales in 1981 amounted to 4.28 pints—2.43 litres—per person per week.
