§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the arrival of better supplies of milk during the grass season coupled with the difficulty of working satisfactorily the system of non-reduction of milk supplied to those consumers who only take one pint or less, he will suspend the limitation scheme for the time being?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe aim of the Milk Restriction Scheme was to curtail milk consumption with the object of saving milk during the summer and converting the amount saved into cheese and condensed milk as a reserve for the winter months. The concession made in the case of households taking one pint or less of milk per day has resulted in a smaller saving of milk than was originally contemplated, but my Noble Friend still considers it very desirable to increase supplies of cheese and condensed milk and is not prepared to suspend the existing restriction.
