HC Deb 27 February 1935 vol 298 cc1131-2W
Dr. SALTER

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the estimated quantities of milk consumed as liquid milk and bread consumed in Scotland during the year 1934, or the latest year for which figures are available?

Sir G. COLLINS

The total quantity of milk sold for liquid consumption in Scotland during the year 1934 is estimated at about 75,000,000 gallons. This figure does not include milk consumed in farm households, milk produced by institutions for consumption by inmates and staff, or milk sold for liquid use by small producers exempted from the milk marketing schemes in operation in Scotland. With regard to bread, I would refer to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture on 20th February.
