HC Deb 13 January 1916 vol 77 c1788W
Mr. JAMES PARKER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture what proportion of the milk produced in England and Wales for commercial purposes is sold directly by the producer to the consumer, by the producer to retail dealers, and by the producer to wholesale dealers, respectively; and what proportion of the total number of milch cows kept in England and Wales by commercial milk producers consist of herds of more than three?

Mr. ACLAND

The information in the possession of the Department does not enable me to furnish the hon. Member with the particulars asked for, and in the present state of the Board's staff it would be quite impossible to obtain them.
