HC Deb 23 October 1941 vol 374 cc1921-2W
Mrs. Tate

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he can make any statement as to the extent to which, under his new scheme of distributing American evaporated milk through wholesale grocers, the grocery trade will go in for milk selling over and above the present practice?

Major Lloyd George

Evaporated milk, which is full-cream unsweetened condensed milk has always been handled by the wholesale grocery trade. It is impossible to estimate the quantity of American evaporated milk which will be released for distribution during the winter. This will depend upon the liquid milk supply from month to month.
