HC Deb 02 July 1919 vol 117 cc979-80W
Mr. HURD

asked 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. ROBERTS

The 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- 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.
