§ Mr. HAYDAYasked the Minister of Food whether the Committee which has been inquiring into the price of milk has now submitted its Report; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. McCURDYThe answer to the first, part of the question is in the affirmative. The Food Controller is now in consultation with the Committee, and hopes to make an announcement on the matter shortly.
§ Captain BAGLEYasked the Minister of Food if he will state the estimate of the Director of Milk Supplies of the average cost of producing milk from 1st December, 1919, to 30th April, 1920; the estimated yield per cow; the proportion of cows in milk and dry; and the estimated details of the farmer's cost of production?
§ Mr. McCURDYIt is difficult within the-limits of a Parliamentary answer to give the full particulars for which the hon. and gallant Member asks, and the Food Controller is accordingly causing a statement on the subject to be sent to him. I may add that these particulars have been issued to the Press.
