Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Agriculture what has been the increased consumption of milk in the families participating in the special milk schemes in the areas in which they are at present operating?

Mr. W. S. Morrison:

I am informed by the Milk Marketing Board that there has been an average increase of 0.13 pints, or 61 per cent., in the daily per capita consumption of milk in families participating in the experimental schemes for the supply of cheap milk to nursing mothers and children under five years of age in the Special Areas.
