HC Deb 23 November 1939 vol 353 c1412W
Sir E. Makins

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that the stocks of Lancashire and Cheshire cheeses in this country have become depleted, and that there is a danger that these cheeses will shortly no longer be available to the public; and whether, in view of the desirability of stimulating the production of essential foodstuffs in war-time, he will take early steps to ensure the revival of this branch of the cheese-making industry of the country?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

My information indicates that stocks of Cheshire and Lancashire cheese are fully up to the normal for this period of the year and I do hot see any danger of these cheeses being no longer available to the public.
