§ Mr. HURDasked the Food Controller how the Travelling Milk Commission obtained the figures of milk production by counties, published by the Food Ministry, to justify a differentiation against the four south-western counties; whether they represent the actual returns of all producers of milk in each county; and what are the figures for the milk-producing counties not included in the list?
Mr. ROBERTSThe figures referred to were based on the results of the Milk Census taken by the Ministry of Food for the weeks ended 2nd June and 7th De-980W cember, 1918; they represent the actual returns of all producers of milk in each county. The figures for the counties not already published will be given as an appendix to the final report of the Travelling Milk Commission, which will be issued shortly.
