HC Deb 22 December 1938 vol 342 c3126W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Agriculture what sums of money have been expended on advertising and promoting the sale of British milk products since the establishment of the Milk Marketing Board?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I regret that I have not the information which would enable me to state even an approximate figure.

Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that during 1937 the fresh milk equivalent of milk products imported into this country was, approximately, 2,850,000,000 gallons, whilst the total volume of milk sold during the same year under milk marketing schemes was no more than 1,000,000,000 gallons, he can state what steps are under contemplation to increase the milk output of Great Britain by stimulating and assisting the marketing of milk products made from British milk?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I am not yet able to add anything to the statement made by my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, on 1st December with regard to the milk industry.
