§ Sir A. YEOasked the Minister of Food why, when the sugar is so short in supply that the ration is a small one, large quantities are allocated to condensed milk companies for the preservation of milk, for which purpose it is unnecessary?
§ Mr. McCURDYCondensed milk, especially in its sweetened form, is a most important item in the diet of infants and young children, and although it is possible to preserve condensed milk without sugar, the process requires special plant and machinery with which the majority of factories in this country are not equipped.
