HC Deb 15 June 1921 vol 143 c447W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Minister of Agriculture at what price per gallon milk is sold in Somerset and at what price it is sold in London?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

I have no precise information in regard to the price of milk in Somerset, but the average prices at which contracts have been made for the summer months for milk delivered into London, producer paying carriage, are as follows: May and June, 1s. 2d. to 1s. 3d.; July, 1s. 4d. to 1s. 6d.; August, 1s. 6d. to 1s. 8d.; and September, 1s. 8d. to 1s. 10d. I understand that the price at which milk is being sold retail in London is usually 8d. per quart.
