§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food how many cheese factories in Great Britain are working at the present tune; how many such are working normally, and what is the percentage of aggregate output as compared with the normal output in peacetime?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe number of factories producing cheese in Great Britain during May, 1941, was larger than in May, 1939. Most of the factories are at present working to capacity and the output of factory cheese last month exceeded the corresponding figure for two years earlier. It would not be in the national interest to give more precise information respecting the production of food in this country at the present time.
